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…

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.” FYI MidNight Mapper Aka neil From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Barbara Carroll 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. Barbara |
