Description

Mid/Mif is the MapInfo Interchange Format. It is one of the most commonly used geographic formats and well supported by almost every GIS product.


A Mid/Mif file physically consists of two files:

  • a .mif file contains geometry
  • a .mid file contains attribute data.

Both files are in ascii format so they can be viewed with any text editor. The .mid is actually a comma-separated value file. The link between them is rather simple: the first line in the .mid file contains the attributes for the first geometry object in the .mif file.



File Extensions

On Windows-systems, the .mid file is often recognized as a midi (music) file and so double-clicking on it usually opens some application like SoundRecorder or WinAmp, with predictable results.
