GeoTalks Express - Why you need the Lidar Module
By way of introducing some of the key features and functions of this optional add-on to Global Mapper, we answer the basic question, "Why do I need the Lidar Module?". The bottom line is that if you are working with any type of point cloud or thinking of using your drone for your mapping projects, this is a tool you should not be without. To prove it, we'll spend an hour introducing its main components.

GeoTalks Express - So you think you know Global Mapper?
Most Global Mapper users employ a specific set of tools in the software to complete a given project and are often unaware of the full breadth of functionality at their disposal. In the first of the GeoTalks Express series, we will spend some time exploring a few of the lesser-known tools. We'll show you how to blend two raster layers together, extract vector features from a raster layer, create a 3D PDF, and so much more.

GeoTalks Express - Get outside with Global Mapper Mobile
A natural extension of the desktop software, Global Mapper Mobile is a must-have for anyone who owns an iOS or Android device (in other words, virtually everyone!). Providing a straightforward collection of field data visualization and editing tools, this app utilizes your device's GPS functionality to provide locational awareness for all field mapping projects. Using an emulator, we will explore the features and functions of the app and talk about the process of transferring data from and to the desktop software.

GeoTalks Express - Using Lidar for Archeological Research
With the rapidly expanding use of LiDAR and UAV-collected data, researchers have been able to reveal detailed information about cultural heritage sites in many previously inaccessible environments. This has led to the proliferation of information and increased publicity around sites of cultural importance.

GeoTalks Express - Got a drone, now what? An Introduction to Pixels to Points
Drones are everywhere! They are being used for law enforcement, engineering, agriculture, and, of course, mapping. In this hour-long session, we will introduce the Pixels to Points tool, part of Global Mapper's Lidar Module. Using simple overlapping drone-collected images and employing the principles of Structure from Motion (SfM), we will create a 3D reconstruction of a target area in the form of a point cloud as well as an orthoimage and a 3D mesh.

GeoTalks Express - The ABC's of Global Mapper
A is for Address Geocoding, B is for Buffering, etc. You get the idea. However, if you want to find out what we came up with for X, you'll have to join us for this GeoTalks Express session, during which we'll take a light-hearted alphabetic journey through Global Mapper. Along the way, we'll stop and demonstrate a few of the tools that we encounter.

GeoTalks Express - Global Mapper and Mango
MangoMap is an online mapping service that provides a simple and efficient way to share geospatial data with anyone, on any device. Through a special partnership with Mango, Global Mapper users can set an account and publish layers directly from the desktop software. In this GeoTalks Express session, we will demonstrate this uploading process as well as some of the tools that are available on the web platform.

GeoTalks Express - Terrain analysis using Global Mapper
3D data processing is arguably the most important capability of Global Mapper. Encompassing a wide array of powerful data creation, visualization, and analysis functions, these tools are for many users, the main reason why they have Global Mapper in their geospatial toolkit. In this GeoTalks Express session, we will explore several of the most important terrain analysis tools including simple contour generation, volume calculation, viewshed analysis, and watershed modeling.
