The release of version 16 of Global Mapper offers many major functional enhancements and upgrades to virtually all areas of the software. Improvements have been made in the Digitizer, attribute management, format support, analysis functions, scripting, and especially in 3D visualization and analysis. For LiDAR data users, the updated LiDAR module now offers streamlined point classification tools and a powerful feature extraction capability.
The Global Mapper webinar for the month of October features a first look at many of these new features and functions. During this hour-long presentation we will explore and demonstrate the highlights of this major release, including:
- An all new graph and chart creator for visualizing data in the form of pie charts, histograms, or bar graphs
- 3D Viewer changes including the new Skybox for rendering a realistic background to the 3D map view
- 3D Flythrough creation and recording
- LiDAR reclassification tools for automatically detecting building and vegetation points in unclassified data
- Extraction tools for creating 3D vector building footprints and trees from LiDAR data
- And much more
