Global Mapper 16 Raster export speeds (ECW)

mclaughlink

Hello,

I have been exporting ecws with Global Mapper 16 over the last two days. I haven't seen any dramatic speed increases in the exports. I was expecting to see this due to the multi-core processing that v16 has.

Is exporting ecws one of the functions that utilizes the multi-core processing?

Hello,

Exporting ECW rasters is not one of the functions that uses multiple cores.

The following operations take advantage of multiple cores:

• Contour Generation
• View Shed Calculation
• Gridding of 3D vector features
• Search by Attributes/Name
• Creation of area features from equal colors/elevation/slopes
• [LIDAR MODULE ONLY] Automatic classification of Lidar ground points (20X as fast or more)
• [LIDAR MODULE ONLY] Initial display of height-above-ground color for Lidar point clouds
• Reprojection of layers covering a large area of the world

Cheers,

Bob
