Creating Points from Longitude/Latitude Data - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

If your point information is in longitude/latitude, do the following:

1. Examine the browser for your data to determine which columns contain the latitude coordinate (Y), and the longitude coordinate (X).
   
   

   

   
   
2. Determine the multiplier for the X and Y columns based on the quadrant of the Earth in which the points fall. For example, if the points are expected to fall in Kansas, the X value is expected to be between -102 and -94. In the above browser, the data for X (Lon) is close to +98. The multiplier should be -1 to create the points correctly. The Y (Lat) values are in the correct range and require a multiplier of +1 (+1 will not change the value).
3. On the SPATIAL tab in the Create group, click Create Points. The Create Points dialog box displays.
   
   

   

   
   
4. Insert the proper values in the Get X coordinates, Get Y Coordinates boxes, and the Multiply X and Multiply Y boxes. Click OK.
