Analyze and prepare geospatial data in Global Mapper. Open the project in MAPublisher with spatial referencing and styling preserved. Exclusively on Global Mapper Advanced or Professional subscription.
Bringing MAPublisher and Global Mapper together adds new capabilities and more continuity to your workflow. Here’s what you need to know:
Prepare and analyze data in Global Mapper, then open that same project in MAPublisher with the coordinate system and vector styling already applied. Line colors and weights carry across, so styling decisions survive into the design work.
Beginning October 1, MAPublisher will not be sold individually. It will be available exclusively as part of Global Mapper Advanced and Professional subscriptions. MAPublisher is not going away. Only the way you purchase it is changing.
To receive new MAPublisher versions and updates, you will need a Global Mapper Advanced or Professional subscription. Without a subscription, your currently installed version will continue running but will not receive new feature releases.
A full GIS application on the same license as your cartography tools, for the work that happens before geospatial data reaches Illustrator.
Open every file, from any datasource
Open 300+ formats with no conversion step and no add-on license.
One geodetic engine across our applications
Every application draws on GeoCalc, Blue Marble’s own geodetic engine — so coordinate systems and datums are defined consistently, everywhere you work.
Work with data too heavy for a design environment
Smooth, simplify, remove duplicates, and cut vertex counts before the file ever reaches Illustrator.
Turn raw data into a pattern your reader can act on
Classify features by attribute value, calculate new attributes from existing ones, and simplify vertex-heavy geometry, so the data is organized and ready to style the moment it reaches Illustrator.
Save the project in Global Mapper. Open it in MAPublisher. Rasters and vectors arrive together, georeferenced, with line colors and weights already applied.
The styling decisions you make during the data work survive into the design work, so you pick up in Illustrator where you left off.
Once the design is finalized, export the completed map in your preferred format for whatever comes next. For deployment in the field, export to Avenza Maps*, where it arrives georeferenced and ready for data collection, no signal required.
*Avenza Maps is licensed separately.
