Litea,
If you can't create the points correctly using MapInfo on its own, then you
obviously would not have much success using Discover, as Discover is an
add-on to MapInfo (written by Encom Technology) that still uses the basic
functionality of MapInfo.
Possible causes are:
1) You are using an incorrect projection and/or datum.
2) Are you specifying easting for the X coordinate and northing for the Y
coordinate?
3) If you have previously created points, do you then go to Table >
Maintenance > Table Structure and remove the checkmark that says "Table is
Mappable" PRIOR to choosing Table > Create Points? If you don't and you just
try to re-create points, the original map table will not be re-created.

Subject: MI Create points
Importance: High
I've tried to map a table of positions using Table\ Create Points but
haven't had much success. The points appear as much as 2km out in both the
northings and eastings! I tried creating the points using Discover but
Discover keeps blowing. Has anyone else come across the same problem and
found a solution? Please share it with me.
TIA
Litea
