Pitney Bowes32 and 64 bit versions

64 bit• Foundation for the future of MapInfo

Professional

• Also include the “Layout Designer”

• Multi-core support and background processing

• Architecture paves the way for handling larger

data sets and using far more available memory

for processing

• New ribbon-based user interface

• Available October 2014

This will be largely backwards compatible with

the classic MapInfo, except:

• Customization of the UI will be with a

new API

• MapInfo is no longer MDI to allow

windows to be placed on any connected

display

• Building OEM solutions from Integrated

Mapping will use a new .NET API

• We have dropped Crystal Reports and

Graphing for this release

32 bit• Will remain the classic MapInfo Professional

• Adding “Layout Designer” to this version

• Available in the usual June release

Rose Winterton

Pitney BowesLayout Designer

Maps can now be fully interactive on the layout. Labeling, Edit, Scale, Zoom, or any other map changes can be done without the need to go to a separate map window.

Alignment bars and snap-to-grid (same as in the new legend designer)

Text boxes that support auto-wrapping text … to be extended to support rich text.

Pitney BowesRibbon user interface

New ribbon organizes thecapabilities of MapInfo sothat you have what needwhere you need it.

Menu and toolbar systemreplaced with ribbonnavigation.

Ribbon can be customizedto remove things you don’tneed or to reorganize around your workflow.

Customization can be done via GUI or through an API.

Rose Winterton

Pitney BowesWindow management

All windows now support docking,

floating and tabbed modes.

Floating windows can be moved

onto secondary monitors.

Windows can be “closed” to reduce

clutter but re-opened when

needed.

New Window Manager allows you

to see all windows by type and

hide/unhide them, as needed.

Rose Winterton

Pitney BowesMini toolbars

Common map functions are available

on a new floating toolbar in the map.

This makes moving around the map or

operations such as labeling much less

tedious:

• Selection

• Pan

• Zoom in/out

• Label tool

• Label Font

Rose Winterton

Pitney BowesPerformance

Improvements:

Multi-threading of selected object processing commands to use more or all of the available processors

• Split • Erase • Erase Outside • Buffer

Run and track multiple time consuming tasks in the background while continuing to use MapInfo to do other work.

New raster grid format (.mrr) has substantially improved rendering times

Rose Winterton

Pitney BowesLabel properties & preview

Label settings are bundled into groups of settings to make getting good output much simpler.

One click to make changes. For example, click “Bold” to change all labels in the layer to bold automatically.

Settings Preview – hovering on the settings (label settings, font, size, etc.) will automatically show on the map in most cases

Rose Winterton

Pitney BowesRaster Grid

New MRR (multi-resolution raster)format can handle much largerinput data while at the same timecreating a smaller footprint file.

Dramatically faster rendering ofgrid files.

Some grid capabilities will now be built into the base MapInfo Professional. The exact feature set is TBD.
