At Blue Marble Geographics, creating valuable tools for our current and future users is an essential part of what we do. We’re always developing new tools and updates to Global Mapper, Global Mapper Mobile, and Geographic Calculator. The beta testing program enables select users to test out the latest developments in Blue Marble Geo software products leading up to the official release.
The best-suited beta testers are experienced with Blue Marble software to navigate and test the new features. You are the experts in GIS: the scientists with the know-how, the surveyors, and the software developers who know what they need. The feedback we receive from beta testers using new features in real-world workflows is valuable to our development.
Rewards will be offered to beta testers with the highest levels of participation to show our appreciation for your efforts.
