Dear Guy,

I read your post and agree with everything you said. Especially the last line " lets hope the rules of hte engagement/ licensing dont change this time and we can all just "get along""

Which begs a few common sense questions:

1) You acknowledge that Microsoft has in the past changed the License rules for MapPoint. (if enforced, would have a detrimental impact on fleet applications such as BAKA) Why would you not try to avoid this risk a second time?

2) If Microsofts new MLS allows any IT guy to access lat/longs from handsets and display them on maps with MapPoint.NET, why do I need Baka as an additional third party expense? Microsoft provides all the tools?

3) Have you read the threads in the Fleet EULA forum? http://www.mp2kmag.com/mappoint/disc...pic.asp?t=3523 If not, maybe you should.
