    There are a few free data sets that are published as ESRI XML files. Is there a way to import these into MIPro?

    I'm attaching the file and the original link to one of the datasets: https://data.gov.il/dataset/a3cec603-dd66-49de-af14-a612754a7b9a/resource/6bcc7914-6605-4a99-b826-b7df48e7aacb/download/greenbuildings.xml

    Hi Kobi,

    Have you checked if they maybe also serve this data via en public available WFS service?

    @Peter Horsbøll Møller?, unfortunately, none that I've seen, but I will keep looking. Was hoping there would be a "simple" solution of converting the XML.

    Seems to be a simple format. I think Excel kan import this as a table. Only problem is the Base64 encoded point. I am not sure how to handle this. You could write an Excel macro to expand the base64 and write the point x,y (longitude, latitude) to an x and y column. The Excel file can be imported in MapInfo and mapped then.

    A small MapBasic or .Net application / plugin could easily be written to import these directly into MapInfo.
