MAAD2GO has been designed with the popular GIS software (MapInfo Professional*) in mind.
Specially designed connectors exist that talk to MapBasic compiled scripts when MapInfo is operational.
In addition, a seperate toolbar and menu that contains alot of specific functionality created for MapInfo can be loaded into the MapInfo Professional interface (called maadgis.mbx).
This functionality has been built up over the years by MAAD Solutions in a program that used to be called MAADgis to make some of the tedious functionality of operating MapInfo easier and more intuitive.
This MAADgis functionality has been included within the MAAD2gO software as an added bonus for MapInfo Professional users, however this functionality is provided on an as-supplied basis and is not supported.
Functionality contained from these additional tools are listed below.

Turn your MapInfo layouts into a professional cartographic output.
This component provides the GIS User with the tools generate scaled maps and plans quickly and easily through a common interface.
Additional functionality enables the user to add scalebars, titles, and map production information to the resulting MapInfo layout.
Map production component includes;
- Dynamic scaled map generator.
- Legend generator.
- Dynamic grid generator.

Dynamically Display Map Grid Lines, redraws automatically as you zoom in and out.
The method of placing a grid onto a map window has never been easier using this function.
MAADgis contains a dynamic map grid generator that creates a grid at a logical spacing within your specified map windows.
The Dynamic map Grid generator generates a grid that is dynamic, that is, if you pan, zoom in or out or resize the map window, the grid automatically redraws and updates itself.
This means that you do not have to re create a map grid every time a map window is altered, or save lots and lots of grid files.
