The data will automatically be displayed at the proper location relative to other loaded data, creating a mosaic
of data that is properly placed spatially. You don't have to do anything special to create mosaics of multiple
files, this happens simply by loading the geo-referenced files into Global Mapper.
Note: Global Mapper automatically opens files with tar.gz extensions without the use of a decompression tool
such as Winzip. This is particularly useful for SDTS transfers, which are typically distributed in a .tar.gz
format.
Open Generic ASCII Text File(s) Command
Global Mapper User's Manual
The Open Generic ASCII Text File(s) command allows the user to import data from a wide variety of generic
ASCII text formats.
Selecting the Open Generic ASCII Text File command prompts the user to select the file(s) to load and then
displays the Generic ASCII Text Import Options dialog (pictured below). This dialog allows the user to
specify how the text file(s) are formatted so that they can be imported.
Global Mapper supports coordinates in decimal format as well as degree/minute and degree/minute/second
coordinates.
The Import Type section allows the user to specify how they want the data in the file to be treated. The
different import types are defined as follows:
• Point Only - All lines from the file which are determined to contain coordinate data will result in a
single point feature to be generated.
• Point, Line, and Area Features - Any string of two or more consecutive lines with coordinate data
will result in a line or area feature. All isolated coordinate lines will result in a point feature.
