Global Mapper vs. Mergin Maps

Global Mapper’s intuitive user interface and logical layout help smooth the learning curve and ensure that users will be up-and-running in no time. To add to the usability, nearly 400 file formats are supported for import and export. This all-in-one software allows users to complete their entire workflow within the same software with tools such as contour creation, watershed analysis, and multiband raster calculations.

Mergin Maps is a field data collection tool built on the free and open-source QGIS which allows you to collect, store and synchronise your data with your team. It removes the pain of writing down paper notes, georeferencing photos and transcribing GPS coordinates. With Mergin Maps, you can get your QGIS projects into the mobile app, collect data and synchronise it back on the server. Setting up your project with Mergin Maps only takes a few minutes.
