Hi Sandy
If you are now entering the same coordinates into
Google, and into MapInfo - and the coordinates are now correct then your base
maps are also not matching Google. For example the area you are looking at might
have accurate orthorectified photography whereas your MapInfo Map might be less
accurate. Of course this could be the other way around as well.
To test this you need to consider your zoom level
and actual distances. For example if Google is only a matter of metres on land
and MapInfo is only a matter of a metre or so in the sea, the coastline also
would only have to be a mattter of metres inaccurate - quite likely with low
cost, low accuracy mapping.
Your GPS will probably be within about 10 metres of
actual position. Some low cost datasets could be several kilometres from the
correct position.
Regards
Bob

Subject: [MI-L] Points that are on
mainland appear in the ocean
Dear Users,
thank you for your help I got now the GPS
points in the map apfter converting de degrees in decimal format.
Checking google earth some points that showed up in mapinfo in
the ocean, are situated on mainland in google earth, do I have to
manipulate the scale ore anything else, to avoid that mapinfo places them in
the ocean?
