MapBasic Programming

Our first MapInfo application (an environmental database) was extremely well suited to the MapInfo querying capabilities. However, typing all the well names into the where field of SQL-select was unreasonably tedious when the single selector and marquee selector tools are available for easy well picking. In order to include this functionality in our system, we began programming in MapBasic in late 1995.

It wasn't long before we were creating queries, data input forms and point creation routines; all in MapInfo. We've even developed several routines to assist in engineering constructions (see FreeWare). Drop us an e-mail and we'll send you a copy if you'd like to try them. We have also performed hydraulic and plume decay modeling with MapBasic, including a seamless interface with Excel for data plotting. Recently we prepared a complete data input, QA/QC testing, data archiving, statistical evaluation, and results plotting routine for one of our solid waste disposal clients. The routine was written in MapBasic and runs entirely inside MapInfo.

As a result of this needs-based training, we are confident that we can develop customized routines for nearly all applications. Please call, write or e-mail to discuss your specific needs.
