About TAB Reader

 

Data East TAB Reader is an extension to ArcGIS Desktop allowing direct reading of MapInfo TAB and MIF/MID files in ArcGIS with retention of existing native TAB rendering, symbology properties and information about coordinate system (spatial reference). At that, TAB Reader provides tools for importing TAB files to ArcGIS, converting MapInfo workspaces (.wor) to ArcGIS map documents (.mxd) and exporting data from ArcGIS to TAB format.
