Annotations

MapInfo Stratus provides various types of annotation features that you can draw on the map. You can use these annotation features to highlight or label certain areas. The annotations can be exported as a Google KML file that you can share with others and are included in the PDF printouts you can create from MapInfo Stratus. You can also import KML annotations that you have drawn in other applications. If you have the query capability enabled you can also search and display information from map layers where they overlap with the annotations. You can also pick features from the map and add them to your annotations. Whilst adding you are given the option to buffer the feature by a certain value.

For example if you want to see all the map information within 100 meters of an existing area, you can pick the area on the map, buffer it by 100 meters and then use the resulting annotation in a query. The annotation features are managed by Annotation Manager.
