 +Important Note: Global Mapper is commercial software which costs like $500, **you cannot make ArmA 3 terrain of decent size with the TRIAL version.** If you do not have full / commercial version of global mapper I suggest you read Ross's QGIS real world data tutorial instead, QGIS is a free open source software.
