More features of MapInfo Professional Version Version 10.5 #InsightsCon

We’ve been featuring updates (1, 2, 3) from the new version of MapInfo Professional (MiPro) version 10.5 that will be released on June 21^st. Here are a few more:

1. The user interface has evolved. Version 10.5 will allow user to use a docking layer control to move window elements more freely. Uses can choose to have a "dashboard" or "map-dominant" look and feel.
2. To solve the problem of having needing many tables open at one time a Table List Window is available to not only list all open tables but makes this list searchable whether they are "mappable" or not.  Tables can be sorted by name or by time opened. The Table List Window is "modeless" so that it can be docked, floated or hidden.
3. Having many layers open at one time leads to layer list complexity and having many layers with the same name compounds the problem. It makes the layer list especially hard to work. So, to solve this issues, v10.5 will offer a different style for different zoom levels to view layers or a single layer as the user wants.
4. MiPro now has a single button on the tool bar to bring in Bing Maps as a new data feed. There is nothing to install as it comes with each license of the product.
5. V10.5 has includes a one button export to PDF and printing is supported from either the Map or Layout window.
