MapInfo Monthly 2023.12

2023 is coming to an end. When you read this it may already be 2024.

2023 was a busy year with more than 50 new #MapInfoMonday articles, the introduction of this newsletter you are reading, #MapInfoMonthly, a new MapInfo Pro release, v2023, and a new LI SaaS solution from us, MapReveal.

I'm sure it won't slow down in 2024. We will start adding more videos with #MapInfoMonday tips but of course, keep the weekly article too.

See you in 2024!
