MapInfo Extended Tab Format
This is the primary delivery format for the StreetPro family of products. The table schema and product illustrations provided in this document represent the MapInfo Extended Tab version of the products. Details of the TAB file extensions are given below:
| File Extension | Description |
|---|---|
| .tab |
MapInfo Pro Table file Note: This file type includes a set of up to four different supporting file types:
.dat, .map, .id and .ind, which are explained below. To use the data correctly,
you must have access to all of the files in the file set and all files for each
file set must be located in the same directory. Not all .tab files contain all
four supporting file types.

| .wor | MapInfo Pro workspace file |
| .mws | MapXtreme/Spectrum Spatial workspace file |
Esri Shapefile, Esri File Geodatabase and Pipe Delimited Text Format with WKT (Well-known Text) Geometries
StreetPro products provided in these formats are similar to the TAB variants, as explained above, with the following exceptions:
- These formats do not contain styling information for the geometries as included with the TAB variants.
- These formats do not include content specific to MapInfo Pro or other Precisely technologies, such as seamless TAB files, workspaces, Autoloader, Spectrum Spatial files etc.
- Esri shapefiles enforce a 10 character width limit to column names. As a consequence, some field names are shortened. The table below shows revised column names for columns that currently exceed the 10 character limit.
