First Global Mapper Training in Australia

Blue Marble Geographics is to organise its first Global Mapper public training classes to be held in Australia during the week of 27 August 2012 in Melbourne. Registration is now open. Space is limited for these one-day training courses, so don't delay.

Attendance at this class will provide both novice and experienced users an opportunity to learn about and utilise the principal features and functions of Global Mapper (v. 13.2). Employing a hands-on approach, each class will cover the key elements of the software including interface navigation; file, layer, and project management; data access and importing; feature creation and editing; cartographic rendering and visual customisation; 3-D modeling and analysis; and data exporting and sharing.

No previous experience is necessary to attend the class. However, a working knowledge of the principals of GIS, as well as the key associated file formats, is recommended. Participants are requested to bring a Windows-based laptop computer for the purpose of using the software during the class. Evaluation copies of Global Mapper (v. 13.2) as well as the necessary sample data files will be provided to all attendees.

Blue Marble is known for its applied geodesy training courses using the Blue Marble Desktop and the Geographic Calculator. These popular courses are well received across all industries but resonate particularly well with users who need a refresher on certain GIS concepts and a hands-on training experience that applies the concepts with software. The Global Mapper training courses will leverage that course design reviewing appropriate concepts and applying them with the software. The courses are being held in conjunction with the ISPRS conference and are one-day-only events.
