In the past, having the latest version of the software automatically renewed the Bing service. Is that still the case? ------------------------------ Nick Letourneau Verisk Minneapolis, MN ------------------------------

Can someone tell me the requirements for Bing to work in older versions of MapInfo? I know the Bing patch must be applied annually to renew its license, however, if a user has version 12 purchased many years ago, will applying the patch today reactivate Bing for 2022? Thank you! ------------------------------ ...

Thank you Peter, I will email support. To answer the question, this happens when I am in floating or dockable mode. It does not happen when in tabbed. ------------------------------ Nick Letourneau Verisk Minneapolis, MN ------------------------------

I first noticed this issue since upgrading to v 2019, and it still happens with v 2021. I'll have open a map window, table browser, Info box, Explorer box. I'll be doing work in the Map window and move the mouse to the Explorer to select one of the layers. When I click the layer in the Explorer box, ...

Lots of great info here. Regarding this question: Q: When will existing customers receive their upgrades to MapInfo Pro v2021? Currently we have sent out a temporary serial number and access code that provides full functionality (minus Bing Maps) through DEC 1st. We are working on shipping out all ...

RE: GELink issue

RESOLVED: In order for MapInfo/GELink to "find" googleearth.exe, the user reset the program used to open .KML files. Right click any .kml, Open With..., set Google Earth as the default program. I figured out the CheckForGoogleEarth function seems to create a generic .kml and tries to open it, and if ...

Thanks Bill. I've checked out the .MBs, but my skill level here is limited. I found in the GELink_Util.mb, the CheckForGoogleEarth function, but can't decipher what it's doing. I can't identify where the program is looking for the googleearth.exe. As for our machines, everything looks identical: the ...

I have a user running MapInfo 12.0.3. When they use Export to Google Earth, the checkbox for Send to Google Earth now is grayed out. They can use the tool to create the KML and then open in Google Earth, but it won't allow the direct export to GE. I have the same version of MapInfo & GE as them, and ...

Thanks Kalu. I downloaded the tool and am trying to run in version 17. The Window Helper window does not load, but  I can access the menu through the Tool Extensions window. I don't see anything that would make a new browser window open as floating. Where is that? Do you use this in 17? --------- ...

Floating browser option

It would be very nice to have the option to open a new browser window in floating instead of the default tabbed, as well as to have query results open in a floating browser. I have modified some custom .MBXes to do this, but when using MapInfo's built in tools, this doesn't seem possible. ------- ...

Yes that happens to me and my users as well. It is not limited to version 17. We’ve had it happen in 12.0, 12.5, and 16 as well. As you say, if you move out of the cell then save, your change will be saved. Another way to ensure your change is saved is to select the Map window and then save.

Thank you for the response Shweta. The file was where you said it would be. There were actually 2 XML files: MiniToolBar.MapperState.en.xml and mapToolbarYYYYMMDD########.xml. Neither XML used the name I gave the customization in MapInfo. I shared these with another user. To get it to work, we had to ...

Does the Customize Map Mini Toolbar customization get saved/stored somewhere? I would like to be able to share it with other users in my group so they dont have to individually customize the Map Toolbar. Is there a way to do this? Edit to clarify: I am referring to the right click Map Toolbar.
