Grid Translator Pro 2.0 for MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™: See what's new in this release

What Grid Translator Pro Does?

Grid Translator Pro (GTP) for MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ is a MapInfo Professional® add-on enabling MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ users to handle a wide range of raster and imaging formats within MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ .

GTP core functionality is raster data translation. GTP does:

  • Import more than 60 raster formats to MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ grid format.
  • Export MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ grids to standard raster formats.

To work properly, GTP for MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ requires MapInfo Professional® (6.5 or higher).

Why Do I Need GTP?

GTP for MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ opens all the functionalities of MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ to more than 60 raster formats including the formats of the major GIS and Imaging industry products: ArcGIS, PCI, Erdas, Idrisi and Surfer.

GTP for MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ is built with Vertical Mapper users in mind to allow them leverage their investment on MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ product and take advantage of the increasingly available and free data over the Internet. Examples of such data are: SRTM data (world wide), GTOPO30 (world wide) and SDTS (USA).

Grid Translator Pro For MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™Whether you have a raster dataset produced by ArcInfo, Idrisi, PCI, Erdas, Geosoft or ENVI, a satellite image (SPOT, Radar, NOAA, NITF), a nautical chart (BSB), a bitmap image (GIF, Bitmap, Jpeg, PixMap), or a DEM (SRTM, SDTS, USGS DEM, GTOPO30, DTED); GTP for MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ will bring these data to Vertical Mapper native format with few clicks.


In addition of importing raster datasets, GTP for MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ can export MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ grids into 3 different standard GIS formats enabling MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ grids to be used by external applications.

Quick Demonstration Videos:

The following are quick Flash video demonstration showing the use of GTP for MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ to import/export raster data into/from MapInfo® Vertical Mapper™ format.

If you try to play any of the following Flash video and see only a black box or blank screen, you most likely don't have the Flash 8 Player or later. You can download it here.
