Good Morning
Does Global Mapper have the ability to generate an FGDC metadata XML file compatible with ArcGis? We're working a federal contract that requires us to deliver an xml metadata file along with our survey data. Global Mapper serves us well for our GIS needs and we really don't want to purchase an ESRI license just for metadata
Thanks
Ed

Ed,
There isn't currently any support for generating a FGDC metadata XML file. What format file should the XML file be created with and do you have an example of what you need?
Thanks,

Mike,
Thanks for replying. I unfortunately do not have an example metadata file at this time... but I'll continue to search the internet and hopefully dig one up. In the past we've supplied metadata to the Corps of Engineers using their own utility called "CorpsMet". CorpsMet is pretty long-in-the-tooth these days and this is the first contract we've worked for a Corps District that is requiring compatibility with ArcGis 10.x metadata.
Here are couple of links that may or may not help?

I have added an internal task item (#11793) to add FGDC metadata XML export support. I'm not yet sure when we might do it, it kind of depends on how much stuff has to be filled in for the file and if perhaps usually a template metadata file is typically used and things like the bounding box are all that is filled in.
Thanks,
