"MapInfo Pro-Excellent Mapping Program"
What do you like best about MapInfo Pro?

I have used MapInfo Pro for several years, and I love how easy it is to use. Navigating it is a breeze, and the layout is very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MapInfo Pro?

One feature that I do dislike is that there is no dialogue box for confirming to save a workspace. The button for save workspace is right next to the open table button, and I often hit it instead. There is no "are you sure you want to save the workspace?" it just saves it without any warning. It can get aggravating sometimes especially when you have the workspace set up just like you want. I also think that their tech support is lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MapInfo Pro?

I have discovered a lot of workarounds after a training so there is not a lot I dislike. The Layout feature is the one I use the least because it still is a mystery to me how I can zoom an position my map. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MapInfo Pro?

Not about MapInfo Pro directly, but about handling MapInfo licenses: for the administrator of MapInfo licenses it would be much easier to manage and handle if LSU were able to edit / delete licenses (i.e. if an HDD crashes or someone forgets to transfer the license before replacing a computer) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
