Pitney Bowes32 and 64 bit versions
64 bit• Foundation for the future of MapInfo
Professional
• Also include the “Layout Designer”
• Multi-core support and background processing
• Architecture paves the way for handling larger
data sets and using far more available memory
for processing
• New ribbon-based user interface
• Available October 2014
This will be largely backwards compatible with
the classic MapInfo, except:
• Customization of the UI will be with a
new API
• MapInfo is no longer MDI to allow
windows to be placed on any connected
display
• Building OEM solutions from Integrated
Mapping will use a new .NET API
• We have dropped Crystal Reports and
Graphing for this release
32 bit• Will remain the classic MapInfo Professional
• Adding “Layout Designer” to this version
• Available in the usual June release
Rose Winterton
Pitney BowesLayout Designer
Maps can now be fully interactive on the layout. Labeling, Edit, Scale, Zoom, or any other map changes can be done without the need to go to a separate map window.
Alignment bars and snap-to-grid (same as in the new legend designer)
Text boxes that support auto-wrapping text … to be extended to support rich text.

Pitney BowesRibbon user interface
New ribbon organizes thecapabilities of MapInfo sothat you have what needwhere you need it.
Menu and toolbar systemreplaced with ribbonnavigation.
Ribbon can be customizedto remove things you don’tneed or to reorganize around your workflow.
Customization can be done via GUI or through an API.

Pitney BowesWindow management
All windows now support docking,
floating and tabbed modes.
Floating windows can be moved
onto secondary monitors.
Windows can be “closed” to reduce
clutter but re-opened when
needed.
New Window Manager allows you
to see all windows by type and
hide/unhide them, as needed.
Rose Winterton
Pitney BowesMini toolbars
Common map functions are available
on a new floating toolbar in the map.
This makes moving around the map or
operations such as labeling much less
tedious:
• Selection
• Pan
• Zoom in/out
• Label tool
• Label Font

Pitney BowesPerformance
Improvements:
Multi-threading of selected object processing commands to use more or all of the available processors
• Split • Erase • Erase Outside • Buffer
Run and track multiple time consuming tasks in the background while continuing to use MapInfo to do other work.
New raster grid format (.mrr) has substantially improved rendering times
Rose Winterton
Pitney BowesLabel properties & preview
Label settings are bundled into groups of settings to make getting good output much simpler.
One click to make changes. For example, click “Bold” to change all labels in the layer to bold automatically.
Settings Preview – hovering on the settings (label settings, font, size, etc.) will automatically show on the map in most cases
Rose Winterton
Pitney BowesRaster Grid
New MRR (multi-resolution raster)format can handle much largerinput data while at the same timecreating a smaller footprint file.
Dramatically faster rendering ofgrid files.
Some grid capabilities will now be built into the base MapInfo Professional. The exact feature set is TBD.
