Blue Marble to Showcase the Latest Innovations in Global Mapper at the 2016 GEOINT Symposium

Hallowell, Maine - May 10, 2016 - Blue Marble Geographics (bluemarblegeo.com) is pleased to announce that it will be exhibiting at the upcoming GEOINT Symposium in Orlando, Florida. Hosted by the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF), a non-profit educational organization, the annual GEOINT Symposium is the nation's largest gathering of defense, intelligence, and homeland security professionals representing private industry, academia, and government. Global Mapper has proven to be an indispensable geospatial tool for defense intelligence and battlefield simulation and is an essential component of the data processing, analysis, and visualization workflow for service personnel at home and abroad.

Blue Marble's geospatial data manipulation, visualization, and conversion solutions are used worldwide by thousands of GIS analysts at software, energy, mining, civil engineering, surveying, and technology companies, as well as government agencies and academic institutions.

Global Mapper is quickly becoming the GIS software of choice when a nimble, rapid response is essential for operational success. A perfect balance of usability, utility, and affordability, this remarkable application is capable of displaying, converting, and analyzing virtually any type of geospatial data. With its unequaled format support, it is uniquely interoperable across multiple platforms. Global Mapper's innovative 3D analysis and display tools enable users to quickly visualize and interpret the lay of the land for mission planning and tactical terrain awareness. Precise line-of-sight analysis and view shed modeling tools take the guesswork out of determining the optimal placement of strategic assets and personnel in the theater of operations. When it comes to LiDAR or point cloud processing, the Global Mapper LiDAR Module's capabilities are second to none. From automatic ground classification, to feature detection, to automatic and custom vector extraction, no other software offers so much functionality at such an affordable price.

"We are extremely proud to be playing an important role in security and peacekeeping operations throughout the world." stated Patrick Cunningham, Blue Marble President. "It is gratifying to learn how Blue Marble software is being deployed to help ensure operational success as well as the safety of forward-positioned defense and security personnel in many hostile situations."
