GeoMapVector for Mapinfo GeoMapVector© is a MapInfo tool that calculates the azimuth (trend, orientation) and/or the length of line or polyline objects in a MapInfo table. This tool allows the user to select a location on the map and retrieve Pictometry imagery for that site. Tools for interacting with the imagery include zoom, distance, height, and elevation. See your location of interest from different viewpoints (north, south, east, west, overhead). Video #17This video will show you how to use the MapInfo profile tools including Line of Sight. A raster (SRTM geotiff) is loaded and a line is drawn repres. MapInfo serves as the GIS engine and can be enhanced with several software add-ons which run exclusively with MapInfo (see below.) MapInfo reads data from a variety of GIS, spreadsheet, and database sources, and can highlight previously unappreciated spatial relationships. Its querying capabilities are robust and easy to use.
MapInfo Professional is a powerful mapping tool and is packed with features to help you to see trends and patterns so you can make informed decisions and develop your business.

MapInfo Professional v12.0 makes it easier than ever to create great looking maps. With new cartographic output features such as enhanced automatic labelling options, new scalebar enhancements, and greater flexibility over legend and layout objects, making maps that stand out has never been so easy.
Cartographic output
MapInfo Professional v12.0 provides greater control over the appearance of scalebars allowing transparent backgrounds and borders, giving more space for map display. Enhancements to the Legend Designer introduced in v11.5 provide control over the order of objects within a frame, automatic word wrapping for long text and resizing of style swatches for individual layers. Objects within the layout window can now be quickly aligned.
Labelling
MapInfo Professional v12.0 delivers substantial improvements to the creation and placement of labels, reducing the need to create custom labels. New smart algorithms allow users to place more curved labels on a map automatically. Options are also provided to fall back to rotated labels where lines are too jagged or curved labels will not fit. Curved labels can now be moved by clicking and dragging them to a new location.
Ease of use
MapInfo Professional v12.0 continues to be the world’s most powerful easy to use GIS. New tools such as Compare Table Structure which allows users to compare and edit data in multiple tables simultaneously, the new PolyBuilder tool for automatically creating polygons from digitized linework and the new Quick Translator tool for getting non-native data in and out of MapInfo Professional, mean complex operations are made straightforward, saving valuable time.
Technology updates
With support for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, MapInfo Professional v12.0 allows organisations to make use of the latest hardware and software available. Users are now also able to read, write and create SQLite databases allowing seamless interoperability with the range of Autodesk products.
