28. Loading Data
Global Mapper has multiple options for Loading Data and will display multiple data sets in correct geospatial positions. Data can be imported as part of a workspace (.gmw) file, accessed from online sources or imported from a database connection.    For more information on opening data files, from the file menu - see the Open Data File(s) section.
Data files can also be dragged and dropped into the map to automatically load. Load Workspace
This Function can be used with Ctrl+W on your keyboard.
The Load Workspace command allows the user to load a Global Mapper workspace file (.gmw) previously saved with the Save Workspace command.

29. Loading Data from a Spatial Database
There are two ways to load data from a spatial database:
Specify the connection parameters for the spatial database connection. This applies to all of the enterprise databases: ArcSDE, MySQL, Oracle, PostGIS and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or higher.
Use the Connection Manager to define spatial database connections. You can access this functionality by choosing Open Spatial Database... from the File menu.
Specify the file that contains a Spatialite database (*.sqlite), a GeoMedia Access Warehouse (*.mdb), an Esri file (.gdb), personal geodatabase (*.mdb), or an Esri ArcSDE geodatabase connection definition (*.sde). (Use Esri ArcCatalog or ArcMap to create an ArcSDE geodatabase connection file.) Choose Open Data File(s) from the File menu to perform this task.

30. Loading Generic Text File
The Open Generic Text File (s) command allows the user to import data from a wide variety of generic ASCII text formats.
Selecting the Open Generic Text File command prompts the user to select the file(s) to load and then displays the Generic Text File Import Options dialog. This dialog allows can be used to specify how the text file(s) are formatted so that they can be imported.
The Generic Text File Import Options dialog has several options that allow you to define how your data is formatted.

40. Point Styles
The Point Styles section of the Configuration dialog specifies Point Feature Types and their properties.

41. Point Styles Show Labels for Points of This Type
Check this option to label features of this type by default. The default label is the Feature Name attribute.
Select Label Font...
This opens a dialog for configuring the label properties for the Feature Type, including Font, background, relative position, size, and rotation.
This dialog allows you to select the font to use for the point, as well as set up other label display options for the point, including where to position the label relative to the point, what angle (if any) by which to rotate point labels, how to fill the background for the labels, and whether or not to display the labels at a fixed height in ground units rather than a fixed font size in pixels.

42. Point Styles
3D Model
Specify a 3D model to associate with the point type. For more information on using 3D Point Symbols see Working with 3D Models.
To create a 3D Point style from an existing model, select a built in model from the '3D Model:' drop-down menu and select apply. To apply a custom model first add it in the Custom Symbols section. In order to display in the 3D viewer the 3D points will need to contain an elevation attribute and height attribute. The 3D model will scale relative to these values. See Working with 3D Models for more information.
Note: If you have existing points that you are applying 3D Point Styles to, we recommend selecting between point features at a time to evaluate your 3D point style. Processing and display rendering time for 3D point styles will vary by machine specification and minimum machine specifications will not be sufficient for working with large groups of 3D points that have been assigned 3D point styles.

43. Area Styles
The Area Styles section of the Configuration menu allows the user to configure how areas of a given type will be displayed in Global Mapper.

44. Area Styles New Type... Area Type

New Types can also be loaded from cGPSMapper type files using the bottom option.

45. Area Styles Fill Pattern
Specify the fill pattern for the selected Area Type
Color
Specify the color of the fill
Add Custom Fill Pattern...
This option provides the opportunity to create a custom fill pattern from an image file. For transparent or translucent patterns, use a transparent PNG format image file when creating the custom fill pattern.
Delete Fill Pattern
Delete the selected fill pattern. Built-in fill patterns can not be deleted.

46. Area Style Border Style
Specify the Border style, color and width for the selected Area Type.
Transparency
With the Transparency slider, users can make solid filled areas partially see-through (translucent) in order to see data underneath the area.
Show Labels for Areas of This Type
Check this option to label features of this type by default. The default label is the Feature Name attribute.
Select Label Font...
This opens a dialog for configuring the label properties for the Feature Type, including Font, background, relative position, size, and rotation
This dialog allows you to select the font to use for the point, as well as set up other label display options for the point, including where to position the label relative to the point, what angle (if any) by which to rotate point labels, how to fill the background for the labels, and whether or not to display the labels at a fixed height in ground units rather than a fixed font size in pixels.

47. Area Style Restore Default Style
This button will restore the default style for the selected Point Type.
Restore Default Style for All Types
This option will restore the default styles for all Point Types.

48. Line Styles
The Line Styles section of the Configuration Dialog controls the display properties for line feature types.

49. Line Styles
Line Types

Edit Type...
Choose this option to edit name and symbol for the selected type. Built in types can not be renamed, but the symbols and labeling for the type can be modified using the sections below.
Delete Type
Delete the selected Feature Type. Custom point types are also specified in a text file in the user data folder. Built-in types can not be deleted.
Attributes...
Specify attributes that will be automatically assigned to new features created as the selected type. Default values can also be specified. For more control over possible attribute values, see Feature Templates.

50. Line Styles Drawing Style
The line style, width, and color can be modified on a type-by-type basis.
Line Style
See Built-In Line Types and Styles for the available line styles, or see the sample at the bottom of the dialog.
Line Width
When selecting a line width, you can choose a fixed width in screen pixels, which means that the line will draw the same width regardless of your zoom level, or you can choose the option to specify the line width as a New Fixed Width in Meters. When you do that your line will be drawn at a given number of meters in width, which means it will get thicker as you zoom in and smaller as you zoom out to maintain the same width in ground units.
Use Flat Endcaps for this Line
Check this option to use rectangular endcaps to lines, rather than rounded ones. This difference is more visible with thicker line widths.

51. Line Styles Label Display Show Labels for Lines of This Type
Check this option to turn line labels on for the selected line type.
Center Label for Lines of This Type
Check this option to center the label within the line, rather than along the top of the line.
