[GIS] Convert MapInfo .TAB to Latitude and Longitude Points

Question

I have been given MapInfo data with .TAB, .MAP, .ID and .DAT files and I am wanting to convert this information into latitude and longitude points. The goal is to have a set of latitude and longitude points that I can use in an iPad app to create overlays.

I found an application that would load the MapInfo and generate png images suitable for viewing in Google Maps.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Update

@Darren Cope helped me find this to work:

ogr2ogr -f "GeoJSON" c:\temp\GeoJsonOutput C:\temp\myMapData.TAB

Answer 1

OGR will read mapinfo files, and export to virtually any format you can imagine. You may want to try that first.
