• Optional add-on for MapInfo Pro
• Works with huge raster datasets (terabytes)
• Visualize and analyze the data using a host
of raster grid techniques.
Example:
Five-meter resolution Digital
Elevation Model (DEM) of
Australia derived from 236
individual LiDAR surveys
(245,000 square kilometres,
3.3 Terabytes of data).

Using MapInfo Pro Advanced
the data was merged into a
single multi-resolution raster
(MRR) file of 36 GB in size
(98% compression). This file
opens instantly and can be
panned and zoomed (and
more) in real time.
09. New layout designer

between your map and layout: Work
directly on layout canvas.
