Introducing Global Mapper Subscription

A new desktop offering that delivers more features for practitioners and more control for administrators.

Simpler administration for the whole team

Work that used to move through support queues and license spreadsheets now happens in one place, on your team’s schedule.

Included with every subscription, Blue Marble Hub is the new destination for practitioners and admins to manage their accounts. Sign in once across Blue Marble products. View your active licenses, reach support, and access the training library. No manual key tracking. No separate M&S contract to manage.

Unified login

SSO via Apple, Google, or Microsoft — one identity across all Blue Marble products.

License administration

Add and remove users, assign and revoke seats, provision co-administrators — no ticket required.

Offline & air-gapped access

Self-serve offline tokens for field crews and air-gapped deployments, issued directly from the Hub.

Support & training

Open support cases and reach the full training library from the same place you manage your account.

Capabilities that fit each role and value that fits your budget

No one carries capabilities they don’t use, or the cost that comes with them.

Each named user gets the capabilities that match their role and workflow. When someone’s work grows, you simply upgrade them on Blue Marble Hub. Instead of a large upfront capital purchase, you pay a predictable annual operating cost: easier to get approved, simpler to forecast, and scalable to meet your needs.

The latest capabilities on every seat, without the administrative overhead

Subscription ships four releases each year: 2x the updates of the perpetual license model.

Each future release will bring even more specialized capabilities to Global Mapper, so your GIS teams can do more without adding more software to the tech stack.

New Features: Only on Subscription

Subscribers get broader format support, more advanced analysis, and new capabilities that bring more of the workflow into Global Mapper so your team spends less time switching applications and more time getting work done.

Industry leading geodetics engine

Essentials

Transform data with confidence. Support for 2D and 3D systems, including vertical CRS and time-dependent datum handling, delivering accurate geodetics across every workflow.

Visual Fidelity Across the Workflow

Advanced

Exchange GeoPackage files without losing symbology, feature classification, labeling, or applied styles. Ensure data looks the same in Global Mapper as it does in third-party applications without manual clean up.

New Import & Streaming Sources

Advanced

Reduce tool-switching by connecting ESRI MapServer raster and ImageServer directly to Global Mapper. Access thousands of datasets without downloading tiles or working through a separate GIS client.

Embedded Advanced Geodetics Tools

Advanced

Run datum transformations and horizontal time-dependent positioning at any stage of your workflow, without switching applications or managing a separate license.

Automated tree trunk classification

Professional

Apply ML-powered classification to identify individual tree trunks directly from lidar point clouds. Purpose-built for forestry, urban planning, and vegetation management workflows, you now get reliable trunk inventories without manual digitizing.

Live Preview Window in Point Cloud Analysis

Professional

Shorten the tuning loop from minutes to seconds with a real-time preview pane in the Automatic Point Cloud Analysis tool. Evaluate how parameter changes will affect the output without committing to a full run, reducing processing time and trial-and-error approaches to unfamiliar datasets.

Multi-Spectral Imagery Support

Professional

Complete full photogrammetry workflows inside Global Mapper without a separate application. Deliver band-separated outputs to clients or downstream analysis tools in a single processing pass.

Faster Photogrammetric Processing

Professional

Spend less time processing large datasets and complex scenes. Denser and more complete mesh outputs on complex terrain and vegetated areas achieve higher quality without a hardware upgrade.

These capabilities are available exclusively to subscribers. Existing perpetual licenses
continue to run on the version they have.

One workflow takes you from raw data to quality deliverable

Global Mapper does the heavy data lifting. MAPublisher turns the result into a finished, print-ready map.
