Yes, you need a bit of “hand”
adjustment on the google side but the tools and their dialogs are straight
forward – interestingly quite like MIP IMHO. I say in an hour or
less you can understand its essentials and be exporting effectively to Earth
Google. I would also suggest that having a “subscription” to
GE will make a difference. Why? Anytime I have gone to check if GE
Pro has been upgraded/repaired, in the last nine months, there has been a
download.
Please note this. GE Local is
getting smarter and smarter (data and feature) and I am finding more and more
listings that guide you through sets of world information like military bases,
hikes in the Grand Canyon, and a wild patch of simply odd but interesting
mash-ups… As for all of us, I was drawn into a wicki-wicki last
week from one of the GE Pro Localizations. Not well done but totally
unexpected and conceptually very cool!
I was wondering if anyone out there had
insight as to the pace and/or strategy for additions of new high resolution
imagery?

Hi All!
What a
splendid idea!
I'm
already thinking of using the GElink as presentation aid.
Imagine
simply mailing a small KML file and the have Google Earth do all the work.
One
thing though - it says that GE does not support all the point and line styles
of MapInfo, but will default to its own standard:
"Objects
using an unsupported Google Earth point style display in Google Earth as a
pushpin."
Fair
enough, but how can you tell how a particular style will fare in GE?
Some
information on this would be most helpful since the trial and error approach
will cost a lot of time.

If you are an MIP 8.0 licensed user
you can pass both raster image of a “map window” or current slects
of actual point, line, or boundary objects (current limit of 2,000 objects per layer)
directly into Earth Google as of Tuesday last. Check out MapInfo’s
8.0 update site for this newly provided MBX utility from MapInfo. My
experimentation with this utility over the last several days is that its pretty
darned neat. It only sends MapInfo objects; it does not import data from Earth
Google. There are some interesting and relevant license issues that will
spawn out of tools like this. I use Earth Google Pro ($400/yr) and I
don’t know for certain about how the MIP export performs with the free
version, Earth Google, or the $20/yr license for Earth Google Plus? IMHO
this is one of the most interesting cross-integrations MapInfo has sent
out…
http://extranet.mapinfo.com/smartupdate/html/pro8.0.html
“The MapInfo Professional (TM) Link Utility for Google Earth (TM) enables
MapInfo Professional v8.0 customers to share analysis maps with others via
Google Earth. This export method will serve as one more output option you can
use to attractively share the value of location based analysis maps with the
rest of your organization.”

Is
anyone aware of a program similar to ESRI’s arc-globe that works with
mapinfo? I have a project that I need to create a visual presentation and
my client has seen output from Arc-Globe and likes it. My preference is
not to have to translate the data to a new format.
