Blue Marble’s geospatial data manipulation, visualization and conversion solutions are used worldwide by thousands of GIS analysts at software, oil and gas, mining, civil engineering, surveying, and technology companies, as well as governmental and university organizations.
Global Mapper is a powerful and user friendly tool for working with GIS data. It’s affordable starting price point, intuitive user interface, support for some two hundred unique geospatial file formats and support for a variety of free online data sources is quickly making Global Mapper the GIS tool of choice for appraisers who may not want to learn an entirely new software program.
