MapInfo Professional v12.0 makes it easier than ever to create great
looking maps. With new cartographic output features such as enhanced
automatic labelling options, new scalebar enhancements, and greater
flexibility over legend and layout objects, making maps that stand out
has never been so easy.
Cartographic output
MapInfo Professional v12.0 provides greater control over the appearance
of scalebars allowing transparent backgrounds and borders, giving more
space for map display. Enhancements to the Legend Designer introduced in
v11.5 provide control over the order of objects within a frame,
automatic word wrapping for long text and resizing of style swatches for
individual layers. Objects within the layout window can now be quickly
aligned.
Labelling
MapInfo Professional v12.0 delivers substantial improvements to the
creation and placement of labels, reducing the need to create custom
labels. New smart algorithms allow users to place more curved labels on
a map automatically. Options are also provided to fall back to rotated
labels where lines are too jagged or curved labels will not fit. Curved
labels can now be moved by clicking and dragging them to a new location.
New algorithms provide intelligent placement of labels for polygons,
automatically determining the best location and size for individual
labels on densely populated maps. This combined with new automatic
callout placement and the ability to set the priority of labelled layers
within a map provides a set of comprehensive and flexible labelling
options.
Ease of use
MapInfo Professional v12.0 continues to be the world’s most powerful
easy to use GIS. New tools such as Compare Table Structure which allows
users to compare and edit data in multiple tables simultaneously, the
new PolyBuilder tool for automatically creating polygons from digitized
linework and the new Quick Translator tool for getting non-native data
in and out of MapInfo Professional, mean complex operations are made
straightforward, saving valuable time.
Technology updates
With support for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, MapInfo Professional
v12.0 allows organisations to make use of the latest hardware and
software available. Users are now also able to read, write and create
SQLite databases allowing seamless interoperability with the range of
Autodesk products. The inclusion of the new Quick Translator makes
getting data in and out of MapInfo Professional easier than ever.
MapInfo Professional v12 also adds support for PostGIS 2.0, adds
improved support for SQL Server Geography type and support for WFS v1.1.
In product notifications
MapInfo Professional v12.0 allows you to keep up-to-date with the latest
MapInfo news and events through the inclusion of an in-product
notification system. The new reader inside MapInfo Professional will
automatically check for and retrieve notifications of important
information such as patch releases and updates, thought leadership
