Use a complete mapping solution

With MapInfo and SPSS, you will get a clearer picture
of all your data. Use SPSS as your first step in analysis.
Prepare your data, perform the statistical analysis you
need and quickly graph the results.
Then, use the power of MapInfo to get that allimportant geographical view of your data. Instantly see
relationships between map locations and easily add
charts and graphs on top of your maps to enhance your
messages. Plus, you can display several different data
sets together on a single map to get a broader picture
of the results.

Tighten the focus of your geographical data

Focus on whats really important in your data using
MapInfos dynamic features. In addition to the standard
geographic features you would expect from a premier
desktop mapping package (e.g. redistricting, geocoding,
and querying), MapInfo gives you:

buffering of any object on a map

polygon union and intersection

on the fly display of maps using a wide selection of

map projections
a powerful geographic command set that implements
SQL extensions, geographic and relational joins, data
aggregation and automatic polygon merging

Create stunning layouts

MapInfos layout windows and comprehensive presentation tools allow you to create impressive results. Use
these extensive features and tools to:

place many elements on a single page easily

produce multiple maps, graphs, rows and columns,

and legends

output several pages of geographic results

apply horizontal or parallel street labels

produce maps with raster underlays

create your own custom symbols and add bitmaps

Access all the data you need

With MapInfo, it is easy for you to import your data.
True Client/Server architecture support allows simultaneous connections to ORACLE, Sybase, INGRES,
Informix, Access, SQL Server and all other popular SQL
databases. You can also use SPSS Procedure to import
your SPSS data into MapInfo. All of your data sets translate from SPSS for Windows to MapInfo automatically
and with no loss of information.
For non-Windows platforms, the SPSS translate function effortlessly translates data files into common file formats. Then, use MapInfos geographical display of your
SPSS data to produce colorful, high-quality maps. Get a
fresh look at your data and perform thorough analysis.
