Domain Name Com's - Software : Microsoft MapPoint 2001

- 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 maps (ostensibly its primary purpose).

The inability to fully customize a map's presentation, and particularly the colors, is a real drawback. The program features a limited number of color schemes for presenting data. There is no way to remove county names and other labels even from the less-cluttered "Data Map" option so as to create a "data-only" map. Perhaps a more difficult problem for the advanced user is the inability to create completely accurate maps at levels other than those included in the standard package (such as cities and towns) or to define your own territories and boundaries.

- 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 that make BusinessMap Pro so difficult. In addtition, you get that great MS support. I've called ESRI (BusinessMap Pro) tech support three times in the last 10 days and left messages asking for some help and still haven't had a response! (Incidentally, you'll never get a recording with MS tech support.) What can I say? MS does it again. In about a year or two they'll have even the few obstacles overcome as usual. I'd like to give this a 4.5 but the rating system won't let me; and I do that in light of what is available by MS competitors in this price range. If you want to spend lots more, of course you can do better.

- 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.
