What kind of central locations?

If you are looking for a simple centroid then this can be calculated and would give you mathematical centre of the locations. It and could be easily coded up in Visual Basic, or the language of your choice.

As you are only using pins over the area of a city, then a simple euclidean calculation could be used - ie. ignore that the Earth is a sphere.

You're talking about multiple locations for a group - do you mean finding multiple places of interest that MapPoint knows about that are also near the mathematical centre?
