Hi Doug,

I think on the ViaVirtualEarth site they are talking about Virtual Earth, not the desktop of CD version of MapPoint.

I have not heard about any plans to incorporate the Australian data into a CD product of MapPoint. If they do decide to do this it would be at least a couple years away with the MapPoint 2008 versions ?

Unfortunately there is no way to incorporate your own GIS datasets into MapPoint except by importing as shapes, which doesn't give you any of the routing or other functionality of MapPoint.

hope this helps,

Eric
