The Global Mapper public training course consists of three days of hands-on instruction resulting in successful attendees being recognized as Certified Global Mapper users.

Day two covers more advanced data processing techniques and procedures, and day three includes all of Global Mapper’s 3D, terrain analysis, and LiDAR processing capabilities.
The one-day Geographic Calculator class introduces the core concepts in geodesy and offers a series of practical workflows demonstrating the features and functions of the software.
As well as offering public classes, Blue Marble Applications Specialists are available to deliver company- or organization-specific training programs. With a customized curriculum and flexible schedule, these classes can be conducted onsite or online.
“Successful implementation is an essential element of any technical investment.” stated Patrick Cunningham, Blue Marble President. “While every effort is made to design Geographic Calculator and Global Mapper as intuitively as possible, there is no substitute for a well-structured training class. Countless users have cited the three days spent in training as the reason they have been able to rapidly improve performance and productivity.”
