OGR - MapInfo 7.0

[Martin, Daniel]

I discovered something this morning. It seems that previously mentioned
problem only occurs with the following definition in a LAYER object of a
MapServer map file:

PROJECTION
AUTO
END

So, I suspect MITAB can't automatically determine the projection on a
MapInfo 7.0 layer. Luckily, explicitly stating the projection has resolved
the problems I was having.

Thanks,
Dan Martin

Subject: [mapserver-users] OGR - MapInfo 7.0


I originally sent this message to the GDAL mailing list, but I got no
response. So, I thought I would try here.

I've been using MapServer with MapInfo data through OGR support for MapInfo
TAB format since it was available. I recently upgraded to MapInfo 7.0. It
appears though that any data produced with 7.0 doesn't work in MapServer.

Can someone confirm: Is MapInfo 7.0 producing a new format? If so, is that
format not currently supported by OGR? Is there any timeline on support?

Thanks,
Dan Martin
