ECW for MapInfo is a raster handler plugin for MapInfo Professional and MapX, developed by MapImagery, which enables these products to read ECW, compressed images.

ECW is a wavelet compression standard developed by Earth Resource Mapping that provides high quality image compression. Many data and software vendors are adopting ECW as their standard image compression technique.

In addition to local, or network server ECW files, ECW for MapInfo allows you to display Image Web Server images from Internet or Intranet servers.



ECW for MapInfo is distributed in 2 different ways. As part of MapImagery, a MapInfo Professional image analysis plugin, from MapImagery Limited. And as a stand-alone product, which is included on the MapInfo Professional and MapX CDROMs, under utilities.

MapImagery has a free version, and a low cost commercial version with extra features. Both the free and commercial versions have some GUI features making it easier to work with ECW images. Both versions can be downloaded from the MapImagery web page.

The ECW for MapInfo is distributed as a self extracting executable archive. To install ECW for MapInfo under Windows 95 or Windows NT (or later) perform the following steps:
