Once you have converted your data and geocoded or created points for it, you are ready to display the results.

To display your data in a new Map window:

  1. On the MAP tab, in the Content group, click Map and select the tables you want in your map. The order in which you select these tables determines the order they display.
  2. Click OK to display your data on the map you selected.
  3. To change the symbol used to display your data, on the HOME tab, in the Windows group, click Tool Windows, and click Layers from the list, to open the Layers window.
  4. Click the Style Override switch for the layer with your data in it and select new display options.

To display your data on an existing Map window:

  1. Open the .TAB files or .WOR files you want to plot your converted data onto.
  2. Open the .TAB files or .WOR files you just created and in the Preferred View drop-down box select the Current Mapper option.
  3. Click Open.

Now that your data is there to see, make it say something to your audience. The whole world of MapInfo Pro functionality is open to you. For details on analyzing your data, see Creating Thematic Maps or see Drawing and Editing Objects for more about customizing your map.
