Global Mapper Training Outline
Melbourne, Australia, Week of August 27th, 2012
Synopsis
This one-day training class will provide both novice and experienced users an opportunity to learn about and utilize the principal features and functions of Global Mapper (v. 13) from a Blue Marble Geographics training expert. Employing a hands-on approach, this instructor-led session will cover the key elements of the software including interface navigation; file, layer, and project management; data access and importing; feature creation and editing; cartographic rendering and visual customization; as well as 3-D modeling and analysis; and data exporting and sharing.
The class will offer a functional overview of the software covering the most frequently used components and common file formats along with an opportunity to learn about some of the more advanced mapping and GIS tools.
