In addition, you can right click on any attribute value to see additional options specific to the selected<br />

attribute/value pair. You can copy the selected pair to the Windows clipboard, treat the value as a web URL<br />

and open that location in a web browser, or treat the value as a filename (either absolute or relative to the path<br />

of the source file from which the feature was read) and load that file either into <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per or with the<br />

program associated with that file type in Windows. You can also choose to zoom the main map view to the<br />

extents of the selected feature.<br />

If the selected feature has an attribute named IMAGE_LINK and the value of that attribute refers to a local<br />

image file, <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per will automatically open that image in the associated application on your system,<br />

unless the Ctrl button was held down when you selected the feature. Likewise if you have an attribute named<br />

GM_LINK and the value of that attribute refers to a local file, <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per will try and open that file in the<br />

current instance of <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per as a new layer, unless the layer is already open or the Ctrl key was held<br />

down.<br />

Clicking the Vertices button for line or area features displays the Feature Vertex List dialog (pictured below),<br />

which allows you to view, edit, and remove the individual vertex coordinates, including Z and timestamp<br />

values (if present) for the selected feature. The X and Y coordinates are listed in the native projection of the<br />

layer, and the Z coordinates will have the elevation units defined for the layer on the Projection tab of the<br />

Options dialog for the layer. You can also easily add per-vertex elevation values to features that do not<br />

already have them by pressing the Add Elevs button on the Feature Vertex List dialog. If timestamp values are<br />

present (like for a <strong>GPS</strong> tracklog), speed and bearing columns will also be displayed for each leg of the feature.<br />

You can also right-click on the vertex list for a feature with per-vertex elevations and choose the option to<br />

evenly spread the elevations to achieve a constant slope between the first and last elevation on the feature and<br />

also to replace any zero elevation values by interpolating between non-zero values. You can also add and edit<br />

per-vertex timestamps by right-clicking on the vertex list and selecting the appropriate option.<br />

Path Profile/LOS Tool<br />

<strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per User's Manual<br />

The PathProfile/LOS command selects the 3D path profile/LOS (line of sight) tool as the current tool. This<br />

tool allows you to get a vertical profile along a user-specified path using loaded elevation datasets. In<br />

addition, registered users can perform line of sight calculations along the defined path.<br />
