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

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

Extensions: .xlsx

Software: Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, QGIS, Python/openpyxl

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