About the Spectrum Spatial Map Uploader

The Map Uploader is a tool that allows you to upload a map workspace, along with the layers and tables it uses from MapInfo Professional into Spectrum Spatial. It can be downloaded from the Spectrum Spatial section of the Welcome Page, under Map Uploader on the Utilities tab.

The layers in the map workspace can include style overrides or thematic maps that have been created in MapInfo Professional and these will be included in the upload.

The uploader creates a named map for the workspace and separate named layers and named tables.

The actual data is not uploaded as it remains in its original location and referenced by the named table. The named layers contain the information on how to style or theme the data when viewed on the map.
