Introduction to MapInfo
ProViewer
MapInfo ProViewer provides an easy way to see, print, and share electronic
desktop maps. This convenient map viewer opens tables created using Pitney
Bowes Software products such as MapInfo Professional or MapXtreme and
displays them in Map and Browser windows. It also opens workspaces and
re-creates Map, Browser, Graph, and Layout windows exactly as they were created
in MapInfo Professional. Using this product you can display and print maps and
workspaces created in any version of the Pitney Bowes Software product line.
The purpose of this chapter is to familiarize you with the basics of MapInfo
ProViewer and provide resources for you to become familiar with it. You can also
