My name is Paul and I wanted to let you know of a new Global Mapper Support Site that I started.
http://www.globalmapperforum.com
As you know, Global Mapper is a great GIS viewer, editor, and converter. The site is designed to support and help users of the software. The site features a Global Mapper Blog of Global Mapper News and announcements as well as an active forum. It is the ONLY site that has a direct link from Global Mapper software (as of v9). The developer of the software is a very active contributor on the forum and answers questions and comments very quickly. The site offers video tutorials of common (and uncommon) Global Mapper tasks.
We are offering a discount on Global Mapper upgrades and purchases just for registering on the site. So not only do you get great FREE support but also a nice discount from the retail pricing.
Thanks!
Paul"
