Open Printable/Searchable Copy - Global Mapper

The Save To Bitmap... option allows registered users to save the contents of the path profile window to a
Windows bitmap (BMP) file for use in other applications.
The Save to BMP and Display on Main Map View option allows registered users to save the contents of the
path profile window to a Window bitmap (BMP) file and then display that BMP at a fixed location on the
main map view. This is the equivalent of using the Save to Bitmap menu command, then closing the dialog
and using the File->Open Data File at Fixed Screen Location menu command in the main map view.
The Save CSV File (with XYZ and Distance Values... option allows registered users to save all of the
coordinates and distances to that location along the path profile to a CSV text file. Each line in the text file
will be formatted as follow:
x-coordinate,y-coordinate,elevation,distance-from-start
The Save Distance/Elevation... option allows registered users to save all of the distances and elevations along
the path profile to a text file. Each line in the text file will be formatted as follow:
distance-from-start,elevation
The Save To XYZ... option allows registered users to save all of the positions and elevations along the path
profile to a text file. Each line in the text file will be formatted as follow:

The Save LOS to KML... option allows registered users to save a 3D line of sight and, if selected, the Fresnel
zone boundary lines, to a KML file for display in Google Earth.
Pressing the Line of Sight... button brings up the Setup Line of Sight/Earth Curvature dialog (pictured below),
which allows the user to configure a line of sight calculation along the selected path. You can only perform a
line of sight analysis if exactly two points are in the path profile (e.g. line of sight analysis cannot be
performed on multi-segment paths).
