need suggestions!!! - loading LiDAR file fail

This is my first time loading Lidar data - (using GM ver 12)
downloaded file from Ohio Gov site for Jefferson county, have proper projection setting (confirmed by Ohio Gov GIS rep) however I cannot get it to import into the correct location. Because it is very time-consuming to get this file in, and am out of ideas, I hoping for some suggestions.
Am I just doing this wrong?
Every time the file falls south and east of where it should lay.
Thank you for any input....

- I am opening data files, selecting LiDAR file (.las) and inserting using the specified projection.
- I am selecting point cloud, preview setting and ground shots only
Every time the file falls south and east of where it should lay.
Thank you for any input....

Hello,
The current version of Global Mapper (v14) has many enhancements for handling Lidar data. With 14.1, a variety of specialized import and export options for .las files were added.
Evaluation licenses can be requested directly through the Global Mapper registration interface. When you start the application, it will open a license dialog. You can select the last option to "Request a 2-Week Trial License" to automatically activate via the internet, or use the form to send in an email with the necessary information to receive a license via email.
To download the Global Mapper client application, please use the following link: http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/global-mapper/product/download_complete.php
Once installed hitting 'F1' to access the Global Mapper Help documents and reviewing the 'Whats New in Global Mapper' section will give you a more comprehensive breakdown of the enhancements.
For a video overview, you can also check out the Blue Marble Webinar covering the Lidar Enhancements

I'll watch this. I too failed to load LIDAR data several years ago, an older GM version.
