Hi,
Some tricks from my experience with getting demographics from MapPoint
1° I use this code to get the information I want by looping from 1 to 39
objDataSet = objMap.DataSets.GetDemographics(geoCountryFrance)
objField = objDataSet.Fields.item(i)
// ( i = represents the information you want , Population for instance = 2 , you have 39 kinds of demographic information in Mappoint Europe )
cName = objDataSet.Fields.item(i).Name
objDataMap = objDataSet.DisplayDataMap(geoDataMapTypeShadedCirc le,objField, ...
geoShowByPostal1, geoCombineByNone, ...
geoRangeTypeDiscreteEqualRanges, geoRangeOrderDefault, 15)
objDataMap.LegendTitle = cName
2° Mappoint gives the information for the whole COUNTRY
3° You have to create your drivetimezone ( X miles or Y minutes from the pushpin representing your address )
4° When you export to Excel , you will have only the demographics representing your area ( 1 , 2 or X miles frome your address ).
I hope you can get some ideas from my litterature!
When I did a geomarketing study in the zone where I've installed my second Point of Sale, I've found this very useful.
You can use the same system to extract the POI's as suggested by Wilfried.
