Enhancements to Introductory and Sample Data
The introductory and sample data, provided on CD, has a different directory structure and data presentation
for MapXtreme Java Edition version 4.8. The Introductory_Data folder contains data that you can use to
geocode locally and enhance maps that you create in every session. This data is now arranged by continent
folders. The SampleData folder provides examples of other types of data (geographic and industry) that are
available for purchase from MapInfo Corporation.
In addition to the directory structure modifications, changes were also made to folders, layers, and several
other files and data samples in v4.8.
Directory Structure
Structured the Introductory_Data folder as follows:
NorthAmerica

Introductory Data
The following map data sets are provided as map definitions (.mdf) and geosets (.gst), organized by continent
and country subfolders in the Introductory_Data folder. To find specific information such as map scale or layer
names, you can open the mdf or gst in a text editor and view the metadata.
Note: The sample geosets provided with MapXtreme Java use a Windows-style path syntax containing
backslashes (“\”). UNIX, on the other hand, expects forward slashes (”/”) in its paths. UNIX users will
need to replace the backslashes with forward slashes in order to use these geosets.
