Global Mapper also includes the ability to directly access multiple
online sources of imagery, topographic maps, and gridded terrain data.
This includes access to worldwide high resolution color imagery from
DigitalGlobe (watermarked access for free) and access to the entire
TerraServer-USA database of USGS satellite imagery and topographic maps
free-of-charge. Global Mapper also has the ability to easily access WMS
data sources, including built-in access to elevation data and color
imagery for the entire world, and to view elevation data in true 3D
with any loaded raster imagery and vector data draped on top of it!
