When we made the effort to bring GIS technology to our organization five
years ago, we chose MapInfo to stay compatible with our clients who also use

Yikes. I am missed. Cool.
Some things I've been thinking about lately, while not managing to
correspond with mapinfo-l:

Robert/ donna et al,
We use ArcInfo, ArcView, MapInfo, and occassionaly AutoCAD,
Pamap, and Illustrator. Each progam has their strong points
but the problem of handling multiple datasets which are
identical in content but different in format is a major
pain in the asp. Recently I discovered a m
Hello MI'ers
Interesting discussion. Nice to hear something other
than the standard either/or - this vs. that debate and
that those with resources to support both platforms
are finding ways to integrate...
We use both, but to be honest the only reason we use
AV is for the Network Analyst extens

Wow, so many multiplatform users out there!
so, how about a really comprehensive list of pros and cons.? or how
about a market share analysis, just who is leading the pack right now?
or better still a "if you want to do the following use product x
its better/faster/cheaper" type of listing
Just to stick my oar in, I have both MI and Autocad14.0/Map 3.0 and use
both. Why you might ask?
I find that they both have strengths and weaknesses. Mapinfo's strong
points are cost, relative lack of complexity (at a user level) and standard
of map presentation. Acad is costly, but I far pref
Robert/ donna et al,
We use MapInfo, ArcView and ArcInfo, different people specialising in each.
ArcInfo seems to be able to do anything if you can find the right command. I
would agree that MapInfo and ArcView each have their own strengths and
weaknesses and hence we use the one that is most a
While MI and AV are each excellent products, they do serve different needs.
We use both here in our office, and try to exploit the advantages one offers
over another and vice versa.
I've found that AV offers considerably more powerful analytical advantages
for studying raster objects, where MI off

I don't know how common it is, but we also use MI and AV in the same office.
We also use AutoCAD 2000, CorelDraw and Photo-Paint, as well as everything
from the Microshaft Office package. We have AV because of preferences from
our Head Office, but primarily (>95% of the time) use MapInfo
I'm a disciple of the "horses for courses" approach. I've never really got
into ArcView, but I am a big fan of Maptitude (http://www.caliper.com/) as
my alternative system. Quite often I find I can do things in Maptitude
that I can't do in MapInfo, and I use it a lot for data exchange with ot

Very rarely can we complete our more complicated mapping projects solely
in one software. As a perfectionist to a fault one of my biggest pet

Short answer - Our GIS Group uses both, and I think it is not uncommon at
all.

YES
I believe all MI users who have had a opportunity t o work with AV
can say that they both have advantages. Funny though MI has not picked up
on that and made the changes that would help influence upgrade buyers.
We use both as well and I wonder whether I am wasting my money on upgrades.
