Dear David By Design are MapInfo Premier Partners and have developed a MasterMap Translator for MasterMap data.
Our translator MapGML runs as two seperate processes. The first takes OS initial and update chunks as GZ files and maintains a local holding. Stage 2 is a publishing stage which produces output for users from the central holding. We can currently write to AutoCAD and to MapInfo and would be interested in looking at other formats. Publishing includes options for styling and for publishing by an area of interest or complete coverage. I guess the stage 1 output is what you would be most interested in where you are wanting to publish to four formats. I am quite happy to discuss this in detail if you would like to ring me. If you or any customers would be interested in an evaluation copy please email me or give me a ring on 01633 881117 and we can send you/them copies. We are holding seminars in Newport, Windsor, London and Southampton on MasterMap and our solutions during September and October. For anybody interested in attending please contact By Design.
