I want to export large raster areas for use sharing with ESRI users. Is there a preferred format for large areas of georeferenced raster data? I assume I can use the gridding options to keep files from getting too large. I have been having problems with ESRI reading the georeferencing information of some raster formats I export. Is there a chart anywhere with a listing of raster formats and the correct way to export them for ESRI from Global Mapper? Thanks.

    While there isn't any kind of table for ESRI compatibility, you should be able to use ECW or JPEG2000 files for large tiles and both formats have standard ways of storing positioning information. The GeoTIFF format should also work, although those files will be larger than ECW or JPEG2000 files.

    Thanks,
