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 ODS

ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) is an open standard spreadsheet format. Like XLSX, it can serve as a geographic data source when it contains coordinate columns.

Extensions: .ods

Software: LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets, QGIS, GDAL/OGR, Python

Limitations: No built-in geometry type — requires coordinate columns. No CRS metadata. Limited to tabular point data.
