MI Making layers invisible to the user in the MapX environment
Fellow mappers, We need to ensure that a certain map layer in our MapX app (developed in Visual C++) is invisible to the user. This layer is integral to our app - and needs to be read/write accessable by the system at all times. How can we ensure that it does NOT appear in the list of layers when the Layer dialog is displayed? We are looking for something akin to the "Set Table MyTable UserMap Off" statement in MapBasic Any thoughts and comments gratefully received. Will off course summerize any differing views on the subject. Gareth Hardman Saturn Technologies www.saturn-technologies.com

MI Re: Ordnance Survey Topo Data
Sharon, For the complete picture on all things Ordnance Survey GB check out the web site (http://www.ordsvy.gov.uk). That will give you a pretty good picture of what they have to offer and at what price etc. You will be approaching them at an interesting time as they have recently announced fairly large price reductions on many of the smaller scale data sets. Data pricing is finally beginning to follow the US model - though still a long way to go. Land-Form PANORAMA (see below) has certainly been affected by this change - dropped from £20,000 to £5000 for complete UK coverage! In brief the height data products you need will need to look at are the "Land-Form" products - either "Land-Form PROFILE" (nominally 1:10 000 scale) or "Land-Form PANORAMA" (nominally 1:50 000 scale). They come in 5km x 5km and 20km x 20km tiles respectively. If you ask them nicely they may even work out the number of tiles that cover Glasgow for you - a nice little task for GISLab (sorry guys...its coming your way..!) These products have both contour and DTM variants. They are not currently available in MapInfo format - OS deliver them in either DXF or in their own proprietary format NTF (National Transfer Format). I have heard a whisper on the OS grapevine however that indicates that this situation may very well change soon (soon being a relative term where Government bodies are concerned!) with data being available in the more popular formats. If you need any further info on these products (such as relative accuracies, etc.) then mail me at any time.

I've been trying to track down a supplier for topographic data of Great Britain. I have contacted the Canadian supplier for OS but they directed me straight to the OS (Ordnance Survey) for digital data. So I emailed them and they said I have to phone Britain to get the info I want. So, I'm asking you fine folks for some information. Ideally we are interested in purchasing elevation data/contours/spot heights. I posted an inquiry regarding DXF files last week because I had downloaded a sample file. I still haven't got that working yet but am trusting the fog will clear on that challenge with time. For now, I am looking for a contact who is knowledgable regarding how OS packages their data, if it comes in MI format, how much is it per tile, how many tiles would it take to cover Glasgow? It seems to me, that the scale is irrelevant since the data is so scarce. We'll take whatever scale we can! So, if anyone in MI-list world can help, we would be forever grateful.

for i = 1 to num
fetch rec i from YOUR TABLE
update YOUR TABLE

Hi everyone,
I'm an Arcview turned Mapinfo user here. Hopefully, this confession
will get some answers to my question. What I need to do is add a unique
id number to every record in a table. Similar to the 'addrecno' script
in Arcview. I remember one little command does exist in Mapinfo to do
this but it eludes my mind. Can't find a single hint in the
documentation as well.Anyone have any tips? Thanks in advance for
your time.

Re: MI Optimal Pipeline route selection
Vikram We have a product called Iso-Route. Iso-Route is a family of routing DLL's designed for application developers who wish to a have a routing component within the application. Iso-Route enables you identify no go routes (i.e. narrow river crossings, low bridges etc.) These restrictions are assigned to individual vehicles and not to the entire data set. This means that a no go route for one vehicel is not necessarily no go for another. I believe that a combination of Iso-Route and your chosen development environment (e.g. MapBasic, Visual Basic, C/C++) could easily supply you with the capability you require.
