    Frequently MapBasic programmers wish to integrate some type of animation in their applications.

    One example would be users who wish integrate GPS positioning within MapInfo Pro, where a symbol "moves" within a mapper,based on updated GPS coordinate information.

    ?Note that MapBasic installs numerous code examples, many based on the tools found within MapInfo Pro!

    Ah, the Animation Layer! I had almost forgotten about that layer type. Very useful if you want to display a point on the map without having the have the entire map to redraw.
