A GeoPackage can have multiple number of tables inside it. MapInfo Pro lets you select which tables in a GeoPackage to open.

Steps to access GeoPackage tables:
  1. On the HOME tab, in the File group, from the Open list, click Table to open the Open dialog box.
  2. In the Open dialog box, from the Files of type list, select GeoPackage (*.gpkg).
  3. From the Look in list, select the folder location of the GeoPackage that you want to access.
  4. From the list of files, select the GeoPackage to open.
  5. Click Open to open the Select One or More Tables to Open dialog box.
  6. In Select One or More Tables to Open dialog box, select the tables within the GeoPackage that you want to open.
  7. Optionally, you can change the style using the Style command, or can also set a different destination path for saving the tables by using the Options command. You can also open the tables in read only mode by selecting Read-only under the Common Options.
  8. Click OK to open the selected tables.

MapInfo Pro will create TAB files in the destination location for each of the tables that you have selected to open from the GeoPackage. Any update made to the tables are saved over these new TAB files.

For saving a table to a GeoPackage, see Saving Tables to a GeoPackage.
