[DUG] Mapping Components

[Laurence Bevan]

We have a similar issue with MapX and MapX Mobile. Although we're happy to move our applications to
.Net, MapXtreme will not have a mobile version for probably at least 2 years so we're stuck in a
hard place. 

Does TatukGIS read and write native MapInfo files?

We currently use MapInfo MapX which is an Active X control to add
Mapping functionality to our software.
 
MapX is no longer being developed and is being replaced by a .Net
component, so we taking the opportunity to look at alternatives.
 
One of the things we need it to do is talk to our Informix Geospatial
datablade, which can provide data in Shape, OpenGIS Well Know Text, and
OpenGIS Well Know Binary formats.
 
What do other people use?
 
I am currently looking a TatukGIS which is a VCL solution. It looks
promising. very fast and compatible with many map formats and database
engine, but out of the box it won't work with out database, but I expect
that we could modify it to do so.
 
Thanks
