I've seen some reference to inability to handle non-standard projections. Is this possibly what is happening here or is there some other kind of problem? Projection is EPSG:3005.


Unable to load overlay gdb
Error opening table \LRDW_hydrometric_watersheds_20121025.
Invalid function arguments.
ESRIFileGDBOverlay.cpp - 1015
Version: v14.0.3 (64-bit)
Build Time: Oct 25 2012 13:40:43

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    The free Esri library for working with file geodatabases is very limited in terms of what GDBs it can load. If you have an Esri license on your machine, you can use the 32-bit version of Global Mapper v14 and load any of them as the 32-bit GM can use the full Esri licensed libraries which have no such limitations. As Esri has not yet joined the 21st century and added 64-bit support this is not in the 64-bit version.

    You can download and install the latest 32-bit release from http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/products/global-mapper-download.php . It will automatically find and use the same license.

    Nope - don't have any esri licenses, hence my problem! I can probably get access to a 9.3 license but I don't imagine that would help in accessing a v10 database though...

    Actually that might work, I think that would enable the use of the Esri libraries that we use which support the later GDB versions. However I'm not 100% sure about that actually. Is it very hard for you to put Global Mapper on a machine with that type of Esri license and see if it works?

    Is an installation of (32-bit) ArcGIS Explorer, which is free, enough to supply GM (32-bit) with the latest ESRI binaries?

    (I was under the impression that it is.)

    That won't supply the license, but it might supply the libraries.

    A very tactful answer.
