Geospatial software developer Blue Marble Geographics has released the latest version of its flagship product, Global Mapper.

Global Mapper 27 integrates GeoCalc, an industry-standard geodetic library, directly into the platform, alongside enhancements to data validation, automation and interoperability, enabling high-precision geospatial work to be completed in a single environment.

The integration enables geospatial professionals to perform highly accurate coordinate transformations, validation and analysis directly within the platform. The release also includes new capabilities across LiDAR validation, automation and data standards, reducing reliance on separate tools while improving consistency and reliability in projects where accuracy is critical.

Other enhancements include:

• Built-in ASPRS density measurement methods help ensure compliance with evolving industry standards and streamline validation across every delivery;
• Guided breakline extraction: Intelligent automation reduces manual digitizing, improving consistency and accelerating terrain model production; and
• Expanded format support including E57 export, LAS 1.5 support with GPS time offsets, TFADS-O export, and GGF export.
