MI Tab -> Atlas .BNA
Mappers, A client needs to get a tab file into ScanUS and tells me any of the following will work: >User Location .LOC >User Polylines .PLN >User Polygons .PGN >User Buffer .BUF >ScanUS .GFX >Atlas .BNA The User Polygons and the like are text files and I could awk or perl the mif/mid into "User Polygons .PGN" but should examine easier options first, my perl skills are fair at best. But, what is Atlas .BNA? Would that be easier? The A*G Link works with Atlas .AGF and .DBF and seems to translate from those to MapInfo, not the other direction... so I don't think A*G Link is the answer... Any and all insights appreciated, Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MI ODBC Error
Hi Mappers: Does anyone else get this error with ODBC? "ODBC Error: ODBC RC=-1, ODBC SQLState=S1000, DBMS RC=0, DBMS Msg=[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Connection is busy with results from another hstmt." It seems to happen whenever I first open up a table, and also when I try to do a refresh. I am using SQL Server 6.5 and MapInfo 5.5. Thanks a bunch!

MI Portugal Street Data
I received a couple of responses about Portugal street data: 1) from Luis Suárez-Carreño "You should get in touch with GEOGRAF, Sistemas de InformaÇao Geográfica, Lda. They are MapInfo distributors for Portugal and Spain. They have a lot of Portuguese data. Its Director is Mr. Raúl Mota, and this is his e-mail address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 351 1 848 1314." I talked to them and they have two sets of data for Lisbon and Porto -- one from TeleAtlas and a less expensive one with fewer attributes but supposedly of equal quality... both sets are at 1:10,000 and 2) from Norm Genier [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are street maps of a 1:300,000 scale available for MapInfo. They are called Cartique Mapping. Portugal is bundled with Spain, Andorra and Gilbraltar and the whole region is priced at $ 4,375. I will enquire if Portugal can be separated." Thanks folks! MapInfo-L is the best! Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MI Portugal Street Data
Mappers, I'd like to get detailed street for Portugal (Lisbon and Porto) for some studies we're contemplating this year... I remember looking into this a couple years ago and all I could come up with was a highway network from AND mapping in the Netherlands at some- thing like 1:250,000. Does anyone have better sources? If you e-mail to me I will summarize and re-post. Thanks!

MI GIS Job Listings
Mappers, What are some forums or what are the best forums for posting jobs? We have an opening in our company I'd like to advertise and I remember there being some sites that list GIS and CAD-related job openings or have these been supplanted by the monster.com listings? I do see posting on here for openings and I know some people frown on that so I'll refrain... but if you know of some sites or have some insights, please e-mail me and I will summarize and re-post.

Fw: MI Asuncion
Thanks Mike! I took your advice and specified the projection during the conversion instead of trying to convert the non-earth tab files which I guess doesn't work... I thought because I was setting up a custom projection, the arclink_map sun program wouldn't work because you don't have a mapinfow.prj file -- anyone know how you'd specify a custom projection with arclink_map? Is it all put on the command line? But luckily, the windows ArcLink program does read the mapinfow.prj file, and this made it all good, the line I added (see below) to the mapinfow.prj file is exactly what is needed for this Paraguay data set. (Actually I'm still waiting for confirmation it's WGS 84, but it's close enough for my purposes at this point.) Thanks Again for that Clue!

MI Asuncion
We purchased some street (and rivers, boundaries) data for Asuncion , Paraguay. It is a product from DGEEC called: "Asuncion Capitol Cartografia Digital Censal 1998" and it came in PC ARC/INFO format. We have ARC/INFO 7.0.4 (but of course we mostly use MapInfo) so I converted it to AI 7 coverages using a tool from esri.com, then kicked it to AI export files and used MI's arclink_map sun utility to create tab's. The data is in KM's and is UTM (datum WGS) but when it comes into MI it is non-earth and it thinks the KM's are meters. I tried adding this line to the MapInfoW.prj but it's not working out... "UTM Zone 21, Northern Hemisphere (WGS 84)\p32621", 8, 104, 7, -57, 0, 0.9996, 50, 0 "UTM Zone 21, Southern Hemisphere (WGS 84)\p32721", 8, 104, 7, -57, 0, 0.9996, 50, 1000 "UTM Zone 21, Southern Hemisphere (WGS 84)in KM for Asuncion\p32721", 8, 104, 1, -57, 0, 0.9996, 500, 1 notice I changed the 7 to a 1 for KM and took three zeros off each farthing. I assume I should open the Asuncion files and do a save copy as specifying this projection. When I then go to open it using the world country file off the MI CD as a backdrop and do View Entire Layer asuncion tab NOTHING appears, and as I zoom out I'm somewhere just off the west african coast but far from South America. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thanks is advance!
