New in MapInfo Professional 17.0.0 Build 0071 (Jul 16, 2018)
- The Welcome Window:
- The Welcome Window is an informative and functional page that appears when you start MapInfo
- Pro. It provides you a quick access to recently used tables and workspaces and the possibility to
- Open new ones.
- New Sample Workspace:
- A sample workspace containing StreetPro, POI, Parcel and Elevation data for Washington DC area
- Is now available by default when you install MapInfo Pro to help you start sampling and testing the
- Beta.
- Other sample datasets will also be available for download in the future.
- Quick Search Tool
- You can use Quick Search to quickly search and execute commands on the MapInfo Pro ribbon.
- These commands might be grouped or nested under different tabs, sub-menus or backstage items
- But the Quick Search tool displays a list of all relevant commands as you type your query in the
- Search box.
- Layout Templates:
- A Layout Template is as a user defined format that contains a Layout window with required
- Placeholders for maps/browsers/etc. in a specific arrangement for presentation. You can choose
- From a list of pre-built templates provided as part of MapInfo Pro or create and define your own and
- Automate the filling on contents within it. Layout Templates are made up of empty frames that get
- Filled in with contents of other windows such as maps or browsers, static content (text, shapes,
- Images, etc) and dynamic text such as date, path, etc. They are portable and can be used in any
- Environment in which MapInfo Pro operates and with any MapInfo products.
- Drivetime Regions Tool
- Drivetime Regions is a MapInfo Pro tool that is loaded by default when you install MapInfo Pro. This
- Tool replaces the older Drivetime Regions (Table) Utility that used an Envinsa 4.0 server. Using this
- Tool, you can access a Driving Regions server to create time-based and distance-based buffers for
- The selected table entries. MapInfo Pro accomplishes this by connecting to:
- Spectrum Spatial Server.
- Pitney Bowes LI APIs.
