Product description from manufacturer
Designed for everyday business use, Microsoft MapPoint allows Microsoft Office users of any skill level, in any size organization, to easily visualize their business information, communicate key data using maps and integrate maps into the work they do in Office. MapPoint is a unique business-mapping program that combines powerful mapping and analysis tools with the simplicity of Microsoft Office, enabling people to see how location makes a difference to their business. Create maps with your own data. Step-by-step instructions guide you on how to apply your sales information, and demographic variables to a variety of map types. Make your map look how you want by defining data range, legend label and ramp color palette. Associate more data to a map by adding pie and column charts to maps. Get address-to-address driving directions. MapPoint will calculate optimized routes based on imported addresses. Turn simple routes into an analysis tool by generating drive-time zones to/from a specified location(s). Import customer, and contact information from Microsoft Excel, Access or Outlook to create a map of their locations. Create your own pushpin icons and use them on your data maps. Or choose multiple symbols that best represent a Series of data. Create maps that group common areas and overlay key information to these regions. MapPoint provides increased integration with other Office applications, including access points that make basic mapping function easier to use. MapPoint also supports data importation from Access, Excel, Outlook or any SQL Server database.
