    Thank you for your interest in Global Mapper. Here is a recent post describing system requirements:

    64-bit version of Windows, 7 or 8.1, is recommended for working with larger data sets, though Global Mapper will work just fine on 32-bit system. Global Mapper will also run on XP.

    Heloo Fello Global Mapperers : ),

    I'm running GM as the Administrator, with an HP  ZBook withn 16GB of RAM, and i7 processor. When running a View Shed Analysis (VSA) at 360 sweep with a 40 degree signal propagation angle; the VSA runs fairly OK up to about  50% to completion. From there, it crawls like a snail. Is there any way to boost the processing capability so the VSA can run quicker? It has often taken 4 whole days to complete a VSA with a range of 3nm to 160nm.

    Any help would be appreciated. I am using ASTER GDEM 1ARC-SEC as my DEM.

    regards,

    What version of Global Mapper are you using?  We implemented multi-threading for view sheds in Version 16 to take advantage of multiple cores in your processor.  Have you tried using a DEM with a lower resolution?
