Amazon.com Review:
Microsoft MapPoint 2001 is a capable mapping program aimed squarely at the business user; whether you want to get driving directions or create business reports using marketing and demographic data based on geography, this package can help. The core functionality of this North American edition of MapPoint features extensive geographical and demographics data for the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It's easy to look up any address, ZIP code, or business name--we found the searching options to be quite flexible.

MapPoint doesn't disappoint when it comes to working with demographics data, either--it includes population data from 1980, 1999, and 2004, along with a variety of geographic, household, and income information. A data-mapping wizard lets you generate a variety of map styles (using shaded areas, shaded or sized circles, or "pushpins" to mark data), so it's easy to identify regions with prospective customers. (You could, for instance, plot ZIP codes with a high proportion of households making more than $100,000 a year.)

The flip side of plotting the supplied data in MapPoint is plotting your own business data, easier to do with the program's hooks to Excel (both importing and exporting) and its ability to use GPS data. MapPoint will plot existing addresses of customers or sales to generate reports with maps. And, since it's integrated into Microsoft Office, we had no trouble creating a Word document that includes a map. (You can also use this tool within PowerPointfor presentations.)

There are plenty of mapping packages that make more use of multimedia for planning trips and the like. But MapPoint 2001 has a few features that can benefit the home user, though this is clearly not the product's focus. In testing, we received extremely detailed driving directions for a short trip. While it's doubtful that real travel is ever this precise, MapPoint did a good job showing us the way with its route planner.

In all, there's little doubt that this package's mapping capabilities will fit the needs of small to medium businesses. For organizations that have struggled with using geographical data, MapPoint 2001 puts mapping into reach. --Rich Dragan

Amazon.com Product Description:
Microsoft MapPoint 2001 is a stand-alone business-mapping software product designed for everyday use. It lets Microsoft Office users easily find and illustrate points on the map, integrate maps into their Office documents, and quickly identify the trends of their business on the map, using their own data.

Microsoft MapPoint 2001 provides easy and affordable access to the same detailed, leading geographic and demographic data found in higher end, hard-to-use GIS-type mapping products. Business users can easily visualize the trends in their business by plotting their own business data on the map and then overlaying additional demographic or other business data. Microsoft Office users now have a familiar way to create maps that pinpoint customer or business locations on the map as well as plot their own business data to incorporate into marketing materials, proposals, and presentations.

- GPS function
I travel 80% of the time for my job. MapPoint 2001 gives me the ability to get directions offline. The software advertise NMEA 0183 version 2.0 use on GPS units. Microsoft gives an address and the company said that it has no idial why Microsoft is directing people to there website. The software package would be worth it if it was truly compatiable with GPS units that can be attached to laptops.

- Good for the Heavy Office User, But...
MapPoint's biggest selling point is how easy it can be integrated with Excel or Access to crossreference demographic and business statistics. If nothing else, you can easily use it as an encyclopedia of US demographic traits by state, county, ZIP code or census tract, conveniently downloadable into an Excel spreadsheet. If your work entails collecting and analyzing raw data with Excel, MapPoint can be a very powerful tool. However, MapPoint's use is limited in creating visually appealing, customizable ... Read More

- It Does A Good Job.......
I got this program because I spend a lot of time traveling by car and I use it mostly for directions and it does an adequate job of that. (I haven't got lost yet!) I guess I could probably have used Mapquest or something similar, but it was handier to be able to do what I wanted without being on-line. I do agree with other reviews though that heavy duty stuff may be best left to something else.

In short, this is an ok program.

- This Outstrips BusinessMap Pro by a Longshot
I've read the other reviews and it's true that you can't remove the any of the label layers. A bit frustrating. But if you've ever struggled with the awkward interface of, e.g., BusinessMap Pro, you'll be postively delighted with its ability to map data by zip and demography. And the interface with Excel and Access is fluent. Try that with Business Map Pro. True, the heavy corporate user might not find it as helpful, but then even they would have to be stuck with the heavy and obsolete DOS based naming conventions ... Read More

- Functional but not Completely
MapPoint 2001 have many improvements over last years version. The converion of data from Excel/Access applications are smooth and fast. However the legends available seem to get in the way and I have not found a way to take them off the map. This software is great for the small to med business but this would could not be used well in a large organization.
