Hi Paul -
It's maybe not pertinent to case but I tried to export a Postgres-based
layer to both the MapInfo MIF and Tab file-formats and showing the
layers afterwards in QGIS - but using QGIS v. *3.22* on Windows 10. It
worked perfectly.
I checked the first part of the generated MIF text
Re: [Qgis-user] MapInfo export issue
I don't know if this is related or helpful, but GDAL 3.0 doesn't produce
MapInfo TAB files with the correct coordinate system when the coordinate system
is in feet. GDAL 3.3 and 3.4 do work.
A suggestion would be to install GDAL 3.3 or 3.4 and use
ogr2ogr

Hi,
If you send us a simple file (the original, the tab and mid mif version you
created), we could test on other versions of QGIS. If you do this make sure
we can correctly identify the proper location. Use something like the outline
of a building that we can find using Google earth as
Hi,
I've tried exporting to MIF instead of a tab file and it generates an error of
"Found [region] while searching for [version]" when you try to load it into the
MapInfo. The output is also creating an error when QGIS tries to load the data
as well although I'm not sure if QGIS could ever
Hi,
I checked my old files and looks like the Mapinfo never used the .prj extension
for the projection info. I was confusing the old .qpj file format that was
used for the shapefiles a while ago. That format was a temporary fix. Looks
like Mapinfo store the info in the .map file. This can
is now incorrect and
requires a further alteration to set the CRS?
Thanks,

Dear PAul,
QGIS exports MapInfo 3 compatible TABs or MIFs in non-earth CRS. You can check

Hi,
I tested exporting a .shp using 3.20.3. I see no prj file but the file
CRS is correctly positioned. It's possible the .prj extension was a
temporary fix??? Test in MapInfo.

Hi,
I was just about to try and push out version 3.16.14 but it has been pointed
out that if you export to MapInfo tab file it is no longer saving the
projection in the output.
Is anyone else finding that the resulting files are doing this and is there a
work around using say gdal options?
