Update: MangoMap Accounts with Blue Marble Geographics are no longer available for purchase.

The Publish to MangoMap tool will publish loaded data to a specified MangoMap account. This tool requires an internet connection and a subscription to MangoMap previously purchased from Blue Marble Geographics. See MangoMap Account for more information.

Select Publish to MangoMap from the Mango toolbar or select Publish to MangoMap... from the File > Export menu.

Quick Steps for publishing a new map to MangoMap

Load raster and/ or vector data into Global Mapper. Apply any desired styling to the vector features prior to upload. For more information see
Press the Publish to MangoMap button from the Mango toolbar, or go to File > Export > Publish to MangoMap
If you have not connected an account, follow the dialogs to do so. For more information see MangoMap Account
In the Publish MangoMap Options select Create new map.

Note: A published map is hidden (marked as offline) by default. Navigate to your Mango Map portal to make the new map publicly visible. You may also choose to make the associated data public in the data portal (it is private by default).

Note: Data uploaded to Mango will be reprojected to Web Mercator projection (Mercator projection with spherical Google Maps datum). This projection, and maps on Mango only covers 85 degrees North to 85 degrees South, and does not support data in the polar regions.

Raster file uploads are limited to no larger than 2GB uncompressed and no larger than 1GB compressed. Raster data downloaded from Online Sources is not supported for export to MangoMap.
Vector - All supported vector data is converted to shapefile format before upload to MangoMap.
- 2D Point Styles - supports basic shapes such as dot, square, vertical bar, cross, diagonal cross, start, triangle and diamond are supported. In some cases there is no match for the symbol in Mango supported style definitions.
