Map Templates and DataSets

The Map Templates module provides a user-friendly interface for quickly preparing printable maps in MapInfo Professional.

Using Map Templates means that fully formatted, correctly scaled and professionally presented maps are generated in a few clicks.

  • Create a library of standard map templates
  • Specify the map scale and be sure it will be printed in that scale
  • Alternatively, auto scale the map to ensure that it fits on the chosen template
  • Zoom in/out and re-centre the map on the template
  • Add an overview map
  • Generate a map grid with coordinates around the map edges
  • Automatically place company or project logos, license numbers, etc. on the map
  • Add watermarks
  • Batch process the generation of a series of maps
  • Auto key creation - for layers registered in the DataSets module

The DataSets module is shipped with Map Templates and allows a user or system administrator to properly manage and configure their data sets.

  • Allows a long description of the dataset, making it clearer to users what the data are
  • Keep track of data: where they are stored, when they were updated, etc.
  • Group data sets and load them at once
