If you are an MIP 8.0 licensed user you can pass both raster image of a “map window” or current slects of actual point, line, or boundary objects (current limit of 2,000 objects per layer) directly into Earth Google as of Tuesday last.  Check out MapInfo’s 8.0 update site for this newly provided MBX utility from MapInfo.  My experimentation with this utility over the last several days is that its pretty darned neat. It only sends MapInfo objects; it does not import data from Earth Google.  There are some interesting and relevant license issues that will spawn out of tools like this.   I use Earth Google Pro ($400/yr) and I don’t know for certain about how the MIP export performs with the free version, Earth Google, or the $20/yr license for Earth Google Plus?   IMHO this is one of the most interesting cross-integrations MapInfo has sent out…

“The MapInfo Professional (TM) Link Utility for Google Earth (TM) enables MapInfo Professional v8.0 customers to share analysis maps with others via Google Earth. This export method will serve as one more output option you can use to attractively share the value of location based analysis maps with the rest of your organization.”

Subject: [MI-L] arc globe

 

Is anyone aware of a program similar to ESRI’s arc-globe that works with mapinfo?  I have a project that I need to create a visual presentation and my client has seen output from Arc-Globe and likes it.  My preference is not to have to translate the data to a new format.
