Streamline your field-to-office workflow by benefiting from Global Mapper Mobile’s ability to gather high-accuracy vector data in the sphere.
:
Available on iOS and Android systems, Global Mapper Mobile allows data to be delivered to and from the sphere for reference, augmentation, and recent data collection. The Pro version of Global Mapper Mobile, available with an annual subscription, improves functionality with additional support for external GPS device connections, expanded online data streaming sources, on-the-go terrain processing, and more.
Data collected with Global Mapper Mobile, corresponding to ground control points, could be easily transferred to the desktop version of Global Mapper. Once imported, easily process the field-collected data with a wide range of tools, including the photogrammetric processing tool, Pixels to Points. Drone data could be imported into Pixels to Points, together with optional ground control points, to create ortho images, 3D Mesh layers, and point clouds from collected overlapping images.
For more accurate data collection, you possibly can connect your mobile device to an external GPS unit. Originally, Global Mapper Mobile only supported connections via Bluetooth, but recent releases have expanded to incorporate support for GNSS Devices via TCP/IP communication. Version 2.4 of Global Mapper Mobile supports various device types for iOS and Android, including Trimble, Bad Elf, Javad, Emild, and others.
Global Mapper Mobile Pro also supports streaming multiple forms of maps and online data sources on to your device. These layers could be used for visual references, corresponding to topo maps and imagery, or in tandem with elevation data. Online data sources, or data layers imported from the desktop version of Global Mapper, may also be used with the built-in terrain processing tools. These portable versions of Global Mapper desktop’s extensive terrain toolset can add elevation data to collected vector data from loaded terrain layers or calculate volume. You’ll be able to measure the terrain volume inside an area from the palm of your hand by calculating it either above or below ground. Multiple calculation methods can be found to supply flexibility in your specific use case. As well as, the Viewshed tool can use elevation layers to asses spatial perspective from a location and even help discover landscapes in the space.
Global Mapper Mobile v2.4 is now available for download with exciting recent free and Pro features. Download the free version app from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store today!
