I am UK based an have a major project to do and need to buy MapPoint European. However, in doing a bit of backgroup research, I found on the BT site (UK) a review saying that MapPoint 2006 had serious flaws in the postcode database for the UK and Microsoft had no plans to update it. Instead MapPoint 2004 was recommended as the post code (zip code) database was from an different supplier. Has 2006 had updates issued in this respect?
My project relates to a knowledge transfer scheme in the UK. I need to map all the UK universities, and the companies that each is working with as well as the location of each of our advisers. It is a bit like, wholesalers, customers and reps. I want to show travelling times from each university and adviser and identify each company by its supplying university. Would I be just as well getting 2004 or would an updated 2006 be better.
All to be done from and excel spreadsheet of names and postcodes.
Any help greatly appreciated!!!
