Open Printable/Searchable Copy - Global Mapper

Note: Only registered users of Global Mapper are able to export data to any format.
Export ECW Command
The Export ECW command allows the user to export any loaded raster, vector, and elevation grid data sets to
an ECW file. ECW files are highly compressed and great for storing things like satellite imagery. There is no
size restriction on exported ECW files, so you can store many terabytes worth of imagery within a single
highly compressed ECW file.
When selected, the command displays the ECW Export Options dialog which allows the user to setup the
export. The dialog consists of a General options panel which allows the user to set up the pixel spacing and
target compression ration, a Gridding panel, and an Export Bounds panel which allows the user to set up the
portion of the loaded data they wish to export. If you would like to generate a lossless JPG2000 format file,
simply slide the Target Compression Ratio slider all the way to the left (1:1 target compression ration).

Export Elevation Spatial Database Command
The Export Elevation Spatial Database command allows the user to export any loaded elevation data to a table
in a Spatial Database.
Global Mapper can export elevation data to the following spatial databases:
• Esri Enterprise Geodatabase (ArcSDE)
• Esri File Geodatabase
• Esri Personal Geodatabase
Export Erdas Imagine Command
The Export Erdas Imagine command allows the user to export any loaded raster, vector,and elevation grid
data sets to an Erdas Imagine file.
When selected, the command displays the Erdas Imagine Export Options dialog which allows the user to
setup the export. The dialog consists of a General options panel which allows the user to set up the pixel
spacing and format, a Gridding panel, and an Export Bounds panel which allows the user to set up the portion
of the loaded data they wish to export.
Note: Only registered users of Global Mapper are able to export data to any format.
Export Float/Grid Command
Global Mapper User's Manual
The Export Float/Grid command allows the user to export any loaded elevation grid data sets to a Float/Grid
format file. The Float/Grid file will consist of a 4-byte IEEE floating point number for each elevation sample
in the file, starting at the top-left corner and proceeding across, then down. In addition to the elevation data
file, an ESRI-format .hdr file and .prj file will also be generated. There is also an option to allow exporting
slope values (in degrees or percent slope if selected) or slope directions (in bearings where 0 is north, 90 is
east, etc.) rather than elevation values at each sample location.
When selected, the command displays the Float/Grid Point Export Options dialog which allows the user to
setup the export. The dialog consists of a General options panel which allows the user to set up the grid
