I have 2 sets of xyz point (ascii files) and have imported them into Global Mapper (Ver. 16.1). I would like to export a single file containing both sets of data but have the data averaged where the 2 sets overlap. Does anyone know how to do this in Global Mapper (Ver. 16.1).

    How do you define "overlap"?  Like the distance between points being less than X meters (could be two or more points)?

    The term "averaged" has a different meaning to different people.  I suppose you would need to specify a function to be used for each attribute that you wanted to combine.  (sum, arithmetic average, geometric average, etc.)

    I can think about doing this in a spreadsheet.  It sounds like a large project to add to Global Mapper, given the flexibility that would be appropriate.
