MapInfo Professional

The essence of MapInfo Professional is well expressed in the very name of the product :

“Map” refers to presentations of spatial or geographic features in graphical format“Info” refers to quantitative data and descriptive attributes

“Professional” refers to the targeted user group of the product, it means professionals from all disciplines. Prior knowledge in GIS is NOT a prerequisite.

“Map” and “Info” are bound together to signify the compact interaction between these two key elements.

Precisely, MapInfo is a standalone desktop system for the creation, visualization and analysis of maps and location-based information targeted for professionals from all disciplines and industries.
