Good morning all,


New and improved: MapInfo2Leaflet - this tool allows you quickly setup a simple web map application by exporting a table from MapInfo Professional (no need to write any html/css/javascript).

Sample output (including regions with holes and multiregions):

French departments: http://www.twiav.nl/LeafletSample/FR_Departements2006.html

French airports: http://www.twiav.nl/LeafletSample/FR_Airports.html

  • This version supports all MapInfo object types (Points, Multipoints, Arcs, Lines, Polylines, Regions, Ellipses, Rectangles and Rounded Rectangles): they will be converted to GeoJSON Point, MultiPoint, LineString, MultiLineString,Polygon and MultiPolygon respectively
  • The markers/features in the web map will show a tooltip, or rather a flashy label.
  • Line and region objects will be highlighted when you hover over them
  • A search control is provided to search on properties in the GeoJSON features.

The tool MapInfo2Leaflet can be found here: http://www.twiav.nl/php/tools.php#lflt

The user manual here: http://www.twiav.nl/files/MapInfo2Leaflet%20User%20Guide.pdf

Worth a look?

Very nice! I was easily able to import this MBX into MapInfo Pro and export some test data onto a LeafletJS map without any issues. 

Great job!

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your feedback - good to hear that the tool does run outside it's own protected test environment as well.

Hope it is useful.

EJ,

Yes. I basically downloaded it and gave it a shot with some large amounts of .objects I have in a .TAB file.  It worked very fast and I can possibly see some use for it with some extra tweaks I can apply to have it work within our Google Maps API

We have a developer license for the JavaScript API, so my goal will be seeing if it can help with implement the data overtop of the Google Maps.

Thanks again, and if I can think anything I added is useful, I will post the upgraded MB file.

Have a good weeknd.
