Working with Terrain Data in Global Mapper

Following on from December’s webinar, during which we introduced the LiDAR processing functionality of Global Mapper, in January’s presentation, we explore the various analysis tools in the software that involve the use of terrain data. Global Mapper's 3D modeling and analysis functionality has been a major development focus over recent years and for many users, the utilization of the z-value is the most important facet of the application. Among the specific topics covered in the webinar are: Accessing terrain data Terrain creation Contour generation Line-of-sight analysis Viewshed analysis Volume calculation Terrain flattening Watershed modeling Slope analysis
