Land/XML

Global Mapper supports import and export of Land/XML files.

The supported feature types are:

  • 3D Points
  • TIN Faces
  • Contour Lines
  • Watershed Areas

The vertical unit is an option attribute in the Land/XML format. When no unit is specified, Global Mapper will default to loading the vertical as Meters. The unit interpretation can be controlled from the Layer Options Feature Types/Labels/Elevations tab.
