In order to query vector data such as points in MapInfo Pro Advanced against raster grid the Point inspection tool can be used.
Open a .tab file containing the relevant points of interest. Open the raster file against which you wish to query. The values from the raster can be assigned to the points in the point file where they overlap.
In this case the points represent supermarkets, the raster grid represents a mobile phone coverage map.
Go to > Raster > Raster Operations > Point Inspection.
Point Inspection > Raster File (set to raster file open in MIP)
Point Inspection Options > Select Point Layer (set to .tab containing points)
Output File > “Insert preferred new file name”
Click > Process
The new file will be opened in MapInfo Pro. The new file may need to be added to a new map window. The points will now need to be queried using SQL in order to map the points of interest required based on the values in the raster grid.
In this example the values from the grid are No Coverage and Good Indoors and Outdoors. For each point that overlays the grid, the corresponding value has been added to the points browser. A SQL query can be written as follows.

In this example No Coverage is selected from the point inspection column. The result in the map window now shows only the food stores or supermarkets that do not have mobile coverage as assigned by the underlying raster coverage map.
