MapInfo Professional 4.1 -- New features

Support for native MS Access data: No need to export your Access files to DBF.  No need to use ODBC connections.  MapInfo 4.1 can read and write to Access files in their native format.  This is another first for MapInfo:   no other GIS software can do this. 

Save maps & layouts in more graphics formats:    Save your windows directly into Adobe PhotoShope Rev 3 format to add the polish that only graphics software can provide.  You can also save these windows in TIFF, JPEG, PNG (portable network graphics), WMF, and BMP format.  Use these features, too, to make graphics for your web site.

Improved control of labels and text:  Use the labeler.mbx, incl. with 4.1, to convert the dynamic (and sometimes squirrelly) labels into static, editable text in a permanent map layer.  Use this feature to make text-only map layers that can be re-used in different workspaces.
