Hello, All.
I'm fairly new to MapInfo and MapBasic but I'm picking it up pretty
well. I have this nice problem that you may be able to solve or point
out to me that it's an easy, common requirement.
I have 2 map layers: Streets, and Zones. "Streets" comprises lots of
Elementary Street Units (ESUs) - polylines representing contiguous
sections of road. "Zones" comprises lots of irregular polygons,
representing geographical areas, and the roads run through these.
My problem is that, as I select ESUs on one layer, I need to identify,
in the other layer, what zone(s) the roads go through (these are to be
stored in a Foxpro database). BUT, the 2 maps have no data or key
linking them. To my inexperienced mind (possibly I'm wrong), the
problem is further exacerbated by the fact that the 2 maps have
different projections ("Streets" is British National Grid and "Zones" is
Long/Lat).
Can anyone please help
TIA
Terry
