News on MapWorld and new MapInfo Pro

The Times Union in Albany does a great job summarizing MapInfo’s investor calls. This time, in addition to noting that overall quarterly revenue was at record levels, the paper shared these tidbits about the new MapInfo Pro and MapWorld.

CEO Mark Cattini said in a conference call with analysts Thursday that the company is scheduled to unveil a new version of its MapInfo Professional software at its MapWorld conference next month in Phoenix, Ariz. More than 500 people are expected at the event, which is held each year for the company’s customers.

Cattini said that the new version will allow users to access so-called RSS feeds from Web sites to provide them with additional data.

I’ve got a ping into MapInfo to tell me about the nature of RSS support - is it GeoRSS support? W3C version? GeoRSS.org support? Stay tuned!
