There are many different raster image file formats. For a list of the raster image files that MapInfo Pro can read, see MapInfo Pro Data File Support in the MapInfo Pro Install Guide.
MapInfo Pro also supports:
- Map Tile Server raster images. For more information, see Introduction to Mapping Tile Servers.
- AirPhotoUSA raster images taken at different elevations for particular areas in the United States. The AirPhotoUSA map handler allows MapInfo Pro users to open and display the imagery contained in AirPhotoUSA Map files as a layer. MapInfo Pro treats these images like any other raster file. The MAPINFOW.PRJ file has been updated to accommodate the AirPhotoUSA changes.
Note: The maximum supported raster image varies by raster handler.
ARC Grid Format Support
MapInfo Pro uses the Arc Grid Handler to use and display ESRI grid files. You will see the file extension options in the Open Table dialog box when you choose the Files of Type option Grid Image. This allows you to open both ASCII and Binary Continuous and Classified grid formats but you can only hillshade the Continuous grid files. These types of data files are available from the USGS Seamless Data Distribution System.
Note: The Arc Grid Handler does not support the Arc Grid Export format (*.e00 extension) in MapInfo Pro.
