Hello,
I wonder if there is a way to directly import and display bathymetric raw-data, which I recently got in netcdf format .mbg, into Global Mapper?
Best,
Nico

Nico,
If you try to load the file are you prompted to select the type? If you select 'NetCDF/IBCAO' does it load? If not, can you provide a sample file so I can look at it and see if there is any way we can add support?
Thanks,

Yes, I got an error message (see screen grab). Unfortunately I´m - by contract - not allowed to share the file so I can´t provide it as a sample. However, a colleague converted the file in the meantime with Caraibes and I can work with the data now. Thank you for the reply.

That error message is very helpful. It looks like there were just some metadata attributes that Global Mapper didn't understand, but really doesn't need to abort for. I have made this more lenient. I have placed a new build at http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper14.zip with the latest changes for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v14.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit v14 version there is a new build at http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper14_64bit.zip .

Hi Mike,
thanks for your efforts but it´s still giving an error, sorry:
Error loading Y:\Downloads\augustin.mbg
Unable to determine data position information
NetCDFOverlay.cpp - 1560
Version: v14.2.3 (64-bit)
Build Time: Jul 23 2013 22:08:40 -
Ok that one is different, it means that no recognized position data was found in the NetCDF. Do you know where I can download one of these files to examine? All NetCDF are different so support has to be separately added for every type since they are so generic as to be hard to support for display.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
I now have again issues with opening a *.nc file with GM.
This is the error I get:
Error loading \\psf\Home\Downloads\Greenland_bedrock_topography_V3.nc
Unable to determine data position information
NetCDFOverlay.cpp - 1560
Version: v14.2.3 (64-bit)
Build Time: Jul 23 2013 22:08:40
The file is part of supporting online material from a publication of Greenland bedrock topography (Bamber, J.L., Siegert, M.J., Griggs, J.A., Marshall, S.J., Spada, G., 2013. Paleofluvial Mega-Canyon Beneath the Central Greenland Ice Sheet. Science 341, 997–999.) and available online here:

May you can help? -
To be sure I just updated to v14.2.6 (64-bit):
Error loading \\psf\Home\Downloads\Greenland_bedrock_topography_V3.nc

I downloaded the file and was able to update Global Mapper to load the data. I have placed a new build at http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper14.zip with the latest changes for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v14.xx installation folder to give it a try.
