I really like the ability to look and interpret 3D terrain data. LiDAR data is easy to manage within Global Mapper. If you need to perform QC on terrain data, Global Mapper works very well for that. Global Mapper can also many different data files. Great...

what i dislike is the platform itself and that there is not a lot of information on how to use it, so you have to selfstudy the tool-
