Data management is a crucial component of many, if not all, GIS workflows. Proper data management practices ensure that data managers and end-users are on the same page, working with the expected data. This process has become even more important recently, with advances in mobile GIS along with increases in remote work. As mobile devices become more powerful, users are increasingly shifting their workflows to them. Data managers need efficient ways to manage and share data with users in the field, who in turn need to have straightforward access to that data. This session will discuss preparing data in Global Mapper for Global Mapper Mobile. It will cover best practices for this process and introduce new methods of sharing data between the two applications.

Suitability analysis is an assessment of the terrain and regional characteristics of an area to find locations that meet the criteria defined for a given purpose. This type of analysis is important when choosing a location for a new business, infrastructure, or crop cultivation. When scouting a new location for a vineyard, whether it be a backyard plot or a new commercial vineyard, the terrain characteristics, soil type, and general growing conditions need to be considered. While there are a seemingly infinite number of variables that can be considered when selecting a vineyard site, Global Mapper can be used to analyze terrain and other characteristics of the land for an initial suitability assessment. While the scenario demonstrated in this webinar assessed the suitability for viticulture, a suitability analysis for any agricultural product would likely begin with similar datasets and utilize the same tools in Global Mapper.
