Global Mapper v13.00 Beta 1 Now Available

Just download that file and run it to install v13.00. It will install alongside any existing Global Mapper version, so you don't have to worry about losing what you're currently working on.

Among the numerous significant changes in this first v13.00 beta are the following:

- Added support for loading ESRI File Geodatabase (GDB) data sets.
- Added support for generating density grids from point features in a loaded layer. This density grid can be based on either just a count of the point features or any numeric attribute value associated with the points.
- Added built-in access to premium streaming high-resolution terrain and imagery from Intermap using the File->Download Online Imagery/Data menu command.
- Added option under View menu to zoom to the same location in Google Earth.
- Added option to transform layer coordinates either by a manually specified coordinate transformation or with a control point file when shifting coordinates for selected layers from the Control Center in addition to just shifting a fixed distance.
- Added a new option to the Advanced Feature Creation submenu of the Digitizer Tool to create lines connecting selected points to selected line features along the shortest path between the point and any of the selected lines.
- Added option to Digitizer Tool to automatically move selected point features to the nearest point on selected line features.
- Added support for exporting loaded terrain data to SRTM HGT format files.
- Added support for loading SegY format files.

All of the other numerous changes are listed in the What's New document that is displayed during installation.

Prior to the v13.00 release we also plan on adding several other major features, including support for joining attribute tables to spatial data by attribute, 3-point rotated rectangle drawing, and support for performing math on attribute values support.
