MapInfo Services account

How do new users sign up for a MapInfo account for Marketplace, DriveTime, etc? The Sign Up button under Services redirects from https://signup.saas.precisely.com/signup/mipro to https://www.precisely.com/contact which seems to be for Sales and I can't see any other obvious method. Many thanks Tom ...

RE: MapInfo Monday: What3words feature to update a table with the W3W Address

They're also removing the convert to what3words feature on 25th November (i.e click map to get w3w or update table from centroids function), so the free API will have no functionality other than AutoSuggest which is for web forms. I suspect it will reduce take-up as adding a cost barrier (even an insignificant ...

Thanks, http:// is working for me, but even if the same url and the same Hotlink settings are used it seems hit and miss whether the browser Hotlink button is activated. Sometimes even with a copy of same table, but just in a different folder - one works and the other doesn't. It must be a bug. ...

Thanks for this! One strange thing I'm finding is it's very inconsistent as to whether the hotlink is clickable from the browser. I can't seem to post images but on a working table the Hotlink tool is active when viewing the browser and the link is blue. On the none working one the Hotlink tool is ...

Hi Peter, Thanks for confirming. I must have been testing with a trial last time I used Move To, which is why I was confused when the Bing patch didn't activate it. Tom ------------------------------ Tom Parker GIS Officer Cambridgeshire County Council Huntingdon ----------------------------- ...

We have several teams that use MapInfo. On a day to day basis they each have their own workspace that contains their own data. From time to time they will need to access another team's data or some other reference layer or base map. If we add every possible table they might ever need to their workspace ...

Thanks John,  MapInfo has always seemed to lack a good gazetteer search, so I'll give this a go. It's a shame that fuzzy searching is less than performant even on much smaller datasets. @Peter Møller once gave me a tool called Find DBMS that could connect to PostGIS and do the search server side ...

Hi Peter, Thanks for your comments and apologies for the delay in replying.  I think the main issue is whether it is necessary for every user to have their own copy of the default tools. This is a recent change isn't it? I assume this is to allow them to be updated independently of MapInfo? ...

Hello, I was wondering if there was a more robust solution for storing Tools in a Remote Desktop Services / Citrix environment? They are currently installed to User's AppData\Local profile, but in RDS / Citrix this is typically deleted after logout. Moving them to the AppData\Roaming profile ...

I dont recall any noticeable differences in printing between those versions. ?Are you sure its not just that you have Enhanced Rendering and transparency switched on in 15 which will cause the output to be rasterised (and thicker lines)?

Allow a thematic map to be generated from unstyled third party data by using a provided SLD with the option of then transferring the applied styles to the TAB.
