Global Mapper User's Manual
The Grid Display options allow for the control of whether or not grid lines are displayed, and if so, what
projection they will be in. The No Grid option is the default and causes no grid lines to be displayed or
exported. The Lat/Lon Grid options causes a grid to be displayed along even latitude and longitude lines. The
Global Projection Grid option causes a grid to be displayed in the currently selected global (i.e. display)
projection, which can be modified on the Projection tab.
The Grid Spacing section allows you to specify whether to allow Global Mapper to automatically determine a
good grid spacing to use or to specify a custom grid spacing.
If the Show All Grid Lines Regardless of Zoom Scale option is checked, all grid lines will always be shown
rather than the default behavior of only major grid lines being displayed when zoomed way out and the more
minor grid lines only showing up as you zoom in.
If the Extend Grid Lines Beyond Loaded Data Bounds option is checked, the generated grid lines will extend a
little bit beyond the bounds of the loaded data. Otherwise, the grid lines will stop at the edge of the smallest
bounding box encompassing all loaded data files.
If grid lines are being displayed, the grid lines can also be exported to any of the supported vector export
formats. The color and style of the grid lines can be modified on the Line Styles tab by modifying the styles
for the "Grid Line", "Grid Line - Minor", and "Grid Line - Major" line types. You can also selectively turn off
the display of any or all of the grid line types using the Filter options described above.
The Distance Scale Display options allow for the control of whether or not a distance scale is displayed on the
main map when data is loaded. The Distance Measure Units selection below it then controls the units that are
displayed on the scale bar.
The Elevation Legend Display Units options allow for the control of whether or not an elevation legend is
displayed on the main map when elevation grid data is loaded and what units the elevation legend will be in if
it is displayed. The No Legend option causes no elevation legend to be displayed. The Metric (meters) option
causes an elevation legend to be displayed with various elevation values labeled in meters. The Statute (feet)
option causes an elevation legend to be displayed with various elevation values labeled in feet. If the elevation
legend is displayed in the main map view, you can right click on it to control various options and also save it
to a BMP file.
The Position Display Format setting controls the format of the cursor latitude/longitude position display in the
status bar.
The Area Measure Units setting controls what units that area measurements will be displayed in the Measure
Tool and when creating new features with the Digitizer Tool.
The Distance Measure Units setting controls what units that distance measurements will be displayed in the
Measure Tool and when creating new features with the Digitizer Tool as well on on the Distance Scale bar.
The Miscellaneous Advanced Options section contains options for advanced users. The following options are
available:
• Prefer World File (TFW) Coordinate for GeoTIFF Files - if checked, this option specifies that for
GeoTIFF files that also have accompanying TFW files, the coordinates from the TFW file will be
used rather than the coordinates embedded in the GeoTIFF file.
• Maintain Export Bounds Instead of Sample Spacing - if checked, this option specifies that when
exporting a raster/elevation format and the bounding box for the export is not an exact multiple of the
