Within distance of Address - This setting will use address geocoding to request and download data contained within the square extent of the distance radius. Choose from the following options:Ĭurrent Screen Bounds - This setting will download the data to cover the extent of the current screen bounds

The Select Area to Download setting defines the initial extent of the data to be downloaded. Global Mapper will auto-populate the requested data bounds in the browser when possible. Some sources, such as satellite image archives, require additional selection within a web browser.

Most online sources will download directly into the map. If the selected data is loading with labels that are too small to read, or an otherwise inaccurate zoom level for the map display, load the data again and modify the Detail Level requested using the slider. Press the Connect button to download the data. With a slower internet connection, optionally choose to Restrict Source to Selected Bounds to just perform a one-time download of the relevant data. Loading a large area of data from an online source may will result in longer load and redraw times. If no data is loaded, it is recommended you limit the area of data to download with the within an address or within a latitude, longitude options.

If data is already loaded, the Select Area to Download setting will default to the current screen bounds but can be changed to any other option.Optionally right-click on the source to Display Source Web Page/ Terms of Service. Select an Online Data Sourcefrom the list of built in sources.
