Compatible digitizers list

[Sergi Gàmiz Ribelles]

Where can I get a list of compatible digitizers? I have one that seems to be incompatible.

Thank you.

It sure has been awhile since I used a digitizer with MapInfo Pro… Probably back in the late 90’s or early 00’s

 

I remember I tend to use a dedicated driver to connect the digitizer to Windows and so to MapInfo Pro.

Not sure if that really is necessary these days

 

It was discussed here on GIS StackExchange:

Sergei, I was slow to respond because you were asking for something official--a list of known compatible digitizers--as opposed to anecdotal information about successful digitizers.

I've always used an Intuos digitizer, with its USB connector plugged into my desktop or laptop computers.  All versions of Windows; it never seemed to matter. Goodness, I digitized a fairly complex geologic map while sitting through an 8-hour layover in Dubai, using an Intuos with page-size top. (Nestled nicely in the side flap of my computer case.  I still use it, needing to digitize constantly in my compilation of previously published data when preparing new geologic maps with new field work.

Could it be that your digitizer has some flaw independent of MapInfo.  Seems like digitizers these days are really just another way to manipulate the GUI mouse pointer icon.  That's how I've always done it, georegistering images in MapInfo as wallpaper and then dropping points as I (literally) float the digitizer's stylus over the unit's pad.

Conversations similar to this appeared a decade or more ago on the list but are difficult to find now.

Sincerely,

Dave Sherrod

SOLVED. Thanks Dave for your comment. I have solved my problem with an old Genius NewScketch model (old Summagraphics MM compatible) that uses WINTAB driver.
