Dear All,

 

Thanks for your previous help on MapInfo v ArcGIS (50 / 50 really - some
like one and some the other - seems no conclusive argument one way or the
other), and which GPS to use with MapInfo (Garmin or Trimble, but most
things should work OK).

 

I have another question - I see the paid for version of Google Earth can
read a Tab file. Is it also possible to get lines, points and polygons out
of Google Earth and back into MapInfo? What is their KMZ format, for
example? 

 

By the way, do you think they use the ECW format and the ER Mapper Image
Server, or have they developed their own? It seems very fast with all the
images however they do it. One of the benefits of having a few tens of
billions of dollars burning a hole in your back pocket.

 

Many thanks

 

Tim
