Miscellaneous Settings

Projection - + This feature requires a Pro license With the Pro Module licensed the display projection for a map can be changed. Supported projections in Global Mapper Mobile are:

Geographic (Latitude/Longitude)
Lambert Conformal Conic
Mercator
State Plane Coordinate System
Transverse Mercator
UTM

The Zone must be selected for the UTM and State Plane Coordinate System projections. With some projection selections the projection parameters can be edited by selecting a parameter with a tap.

Note: For native State Plane Coordinate System and UTM projection support in a Global Mapper Mobile Package file (*.GMMP), the file must be created in Global Mapper desktop version 23.1 b072622 or newer.

Note: Existing map layers may be exported using the native layer projection instead of the selected projection.

Keep Application Awake - When enabled the device will not go to sleep while the Global Mapper Mobile application is open and displayed on the device. This uses more battery power.

Error Log Detail Level - Set the level of detail recorded in the error log on a scale 0 to 4. A higher number will record a higher level of detail.

Enable Device Discovery - When enabled this setting makes the mobile device discoverable by the Global Mapper desktop Mobile Data Management tool for efficient transfer of data between a desktop and mobile device.

Enable Autosave - Enabled by default, autosave creates a backup Global Mapper Mobile Package file (*.GMMP) every 5 minutes if data is loaded and there are outstanding modifications. Backup file names include the date and time, and when a new backup is saved, the previous is automatically deleted. The last backup will be deleted when the project is saved or unloaded.

Allow Usage Reporting - This settings keeps a log of usage data, such as what app features are used and what types of data are loaded. The log also contains error information. To improve future versions of Global Mapper Mobile anonymous information about which features are used will be sent to Blue Marble Geographics when this setting is enabled.

Restore defaults - Select this option to return all settings to the default values.
