MapBasic is a complete, BASIC-like programming language used to create custom applications for use with MapInfo Pro. Use MapBasic to extend geographic functionality, automate repetitive operations, or integrate MapInfo Pro with other applications – quickly and easily.

Note: this installer is only for the English version of MapBasic. Localized versions for Japanese and Russian will be available later.

MapBasic now includes new additional features:

1. Full MapBasic support for MapInfo Ribbon interface. Until now, you have had to use .NET or an additional MapBasic module to easily add controls and modify the ribbon interface. Now, we have MapBasic statements that support all the capabilities of the ribbon.
2. Extensive list of new MapBasic statements and functions to support new MapInfo 2021 functionality.

IMPORTANT: Applications built with MapBasic v2021 require MapInfo Pro v2021 to run. Older versions of MapInfo Pro cannot run applications built with MapBasic v2021

NOTE: This download includes an installer that allows you to install English, Japanese or Russian version of MapInfo Pro.
