BMUC is a gathering of geospatial professionals representing a wide variety of industry sectors, government departments, and academic institutions who share a common interest in Blue Marble’s GIS and geodetic technology.

Attendees gain insight into current and future product plans; hear from interesting and innovative users of Blue Marble’s geospatial tools; pick up useful tips and tricks for optimizing the application of both Global Mapper and Geographic Calculator; and participate in the on-going collaborative development process by providing feedback and requests to the Blue Marble team.
