Global Mapper is an affordable and easy-to-use GIS application that is capable of displaying, converting, and analyzing virtually any type of geospatial data. The Lidar Module can process billions of points of Lidar data into terrain models or surfaces with flexible thinning or aggregation tools. The 3D display tools in Global Mapper enable users to create fly-throughs and perform in-depth visual analysis. The Lidar module also has excellent automatic reclassification and feature extraction tools. Combined with the path profile tool for cross section editing Global Mapper can address virtually any Lidar post-processing challenge.
