About MapInfo TAB

MapInfo TAB is a proprietary geospatial vector format used by MapInfo Professional. It stores geometry, attributes, and styling in a set of component files (.tab, .dat, .map, .id).

Extensions: .tab, .dat, .map, .id

Software: MapInfo Pro, QGIS, ArcGIS, Global Mapper, GDAL/OGR

Limitations: Proprietary format. Multiple component files required. Less interoperable than open formats.

About CSV

Comma-Separated Values (CSV) files store tabular data with coordinate columns (latitude/longitude or WKT geometry). A simple, universal format supported by virtually all data tools.

Extensions: .csv

Software: Excel, Google Sheets, QGIS, Python/Pandas, R

Limitations: No built-in geometry type — requires coordinate columns. No CRS metadata. No support for complex geometries without WKT.
