Loading Data

Global Mapper has multiple options for Loading Data and will display multiple data sets in correct geospatial positions. Data can be imported as part of a workspace (.gmw) file, accessed from online sources or imported from a database connection.   

For more information on opening data files, from the file menu - see the Open Data File(s) section.

Data files can also be dragged and dropped into the map to automatically load.

Load Workspace

This Function can be used with Ctrl+W on your keyboard.

The Load Workspace command allows the user to load a Global Mapper workspace file (.gmw) previously saved with the Save Workspace command.
