MapInfo Pro - Free World Data! How to use OpenStreetMap Web Service (WMS)

Video #115
In this video I show you how to make use of a free WMS OpenStreetMap service. MapInfo Pro allows you to add WMS as a map background layer and one free one is www.terrestris... but also check out this list: wiki.openstree...
For UK only, you may want to look at OS Zoomstack:
osdatahub.os.u...
Of course you can add this WMS URL to QGIS too!
The WMS is the not the fastest (WMS Tiled is faster) and there are paid services.

Is it possible for MapInfo Pro to create a connection to a koop service?

[@GISCoordinated]

Yes - but you need the right plugin for it to support OGC WMS/WFS. See the list of plugins here: koopjs.github.io/docs/available-plugins/outputs Quite straightforward in fact although I note those output plugins are at Experimental stage so might be hit and miss in terms of how well they perform. Worth a shot though. You could also look at ingesting JSON....but thats another story.

is it possible to overlay bing map in mapinfo?

[@GISCoordinated]

It is but that is an extra cost - you have to have the license for that unfortunately. If MapInfo is licensed fully for Bing, then you will see Aerial, Roads and Hybrid Icons activated under "Open->Base Maps"

Thank you so much!!!

Is it Possible Bing Map Or GE

[@GISCoordinated]

I *think* Bing comes with Mapinfo when you have a maintenance license? At least it was like that a few years back. Not sure if it has changed but a quick Google came up with this page: customer.precisely.com/s/article/Adding-Bing-Imagery-to-Maps-in-MapInfo-Pro?language=en_US
