Output Format

This allows you to choose a file format for export, calculations and more:

•SHP (default)

•TAB

•MIF

•MIF - UTF8 (for 64-bit MapInfo)

•CSV

•GML 2.1.2

•GeoJSON

SHP and TAB files are both restricted in size (2 GB), which means they may not be able to hold all kind of output, such as large distance matrices.

The other fileformats are written directly to disk and can be as large as your disk allows.

Depending on the output formats you plan to use, this information is needed for generating output:

When importing from a DBMS, the generated network automatically contains the required information for all formats.

When importing from SHP, only the PRJ is present.

When importing from TAB, only the Coordsys is present.

As a help we have added two buttons for the most commonly used coordinate systems, when importing from SHP or TAB.

If you need to generate a network from a SHP with an unusual coordinate system and export to non-SHP, then you will need to find the EPSG and/or coordsys clause on your own.
