Happy #MapInfoMonday!
There are times when you don't only want to know where polygons overlap, but you want to know how many polygons overlap in which places.
This could be that you are investigating biodiversity and want to understand the number of species in certain locations. The spread of the individual species is registered in polygons. Or maybe you are investigating the network coverage of your mobile network and want to understand how good your coverage is.
In my example, I'm starting with several points for which I know the coverage in meters.
If these were mobile cell towers, the coverage would of course be theoretical as the coverage is highly dependent on the area around the cell towers.
I'll use the Buffer Table control from the Spatial tab to create buffers from these points in a new table.
