What is MIF Data Format:

MIF files are also known as MapInfo Interchange Format files, and often end in a .mif suffix. This format — developed and used by MapInfo for the export of maps and data — contains the data necessary for plotting map features (such as points, lines, or polygons) on a map. MIF files are often accompanied by MID files. MID files contain data attributes, but are not a mandatory addition to the MIF file format.
