New download file formats

By Ed Corkery on Friday, March 27th, 2009 at 2:13 pm

Koordinates has added some new file formats to our download file format list:

  • MapInfo TAB. The default file format for Pitney Bowes MapInfo.
  • CSV (Comma Separated Values). A text format commonly used by spreadsheet software.
  • TIFF/GeoTIFF – a very common high-quality image format, commonly used for aerial and satellite imagery.

They join our existing formats:

  • Shapefile. The most common GIS file format, originally designed by ESRI.
  • DWG. A common CAD format, which supports linked imagery.
  • JPEG/GeoJPEG. A common imagery format.
  • KML. The Google Earth format, commonly supported by other software.
  • KMZ. The compressed Google Earth format, not commonly supported by other software.
