Exporting labels as vector images
Hi, Is there a way to create labels in Global Mapper, which will be exported as vector images (KMZ).
Originally I had 100km grid shapefiles https://github.com/charlesroper/OSGB_Grids/tree/master/Shapefile
And I wanted to have scalable labels on the KMZ output, like this (KMZ in attachment).
YES - labels don't cluttering the map.

To get that result I needed to create the grid with labels in PDF (using Foxit), but after re-projecting labels are not too nice. Is there a way to create image like labels in Global Mapper directly?
NO - labels displayed as Name of vector area - cluttering the map on some zoom levels

@tikhpetr, Those labels are very similar to what I get. The issue is, that I would like to get something like that - creating vector labels using only Global Mapper from shapefiles, without creating additional vector labels shapes elsewhere.
Did you used original shapefiles to export? I think not, and you used only mine overlay (drawn in FoxitPDF). If you can get that result directly in GM from shapefiles, please give me export settings.
Sorry, I'm not best in Russian. -
Please!
