Blue Marble’s geospatial data manipulation, visualization and conversion solutions are used worldwide by thousands of GIS analysts at software, oil and gas, mining, civil engineering, surveying, and technology companies, as well as governmental and university organizations. Blue Marble is known for its applied geodesy training courses using the Blue Marble Desktop and the Geographic Calculator. These popular courses are well received across all industries but resonate particularly well with users who need a refresher on certain GIS concepts and a hands-on training experience that applies the concepts with software. The Global Mapper training courses will leverage that course design reviewing appropriate concepts and applying them with the software. The courses are being held in conjunction with the ISPRS conference and are one day only events.

Attendance at this class will provide both novice and experienced users an opportunity to learn about and utilize the principal features and functions of Global Mapper (v. 13.2).
