MapInfo TAB

Koordinates supports the download of a MapInfo TAB extension per image or raster tile. This allows MapInfo to open JPEG and TIFF images without requiring registration of the image.

To create a MapInfo TAB for a raster or grid export, open the export options (the cog icon beside the dataset) and turn on Include .TAB for MapInfo.

The MapInfo TAB format does not support null values (i.e. “no value” or “unassigned”) in data attributes. Null values are changed in MapInfo TAB exports as follows:

Attribute type Null value becomes
String Empty string (“”)
Integer 0
Float/Decimal 0
Date Empty string (“”)
