MapPoint 2009

Earlier this week I had a look through MapPoint 2009, and posted my findings in a comment to Marvin Hlavac's review:

"Executive Summary": New look to the menus, some usability improvements, but the 300+ pushpins have been replaced with 40 or so different ones. The new pins have less color selection, as well as less shape variations. Also all the numbers/etc have gone.

A Busy Week

Posted 07-25-2008 at 11:13 AM by Winwaed

It has been a busy week. A new version of RouteWriter has been through some testing. I shall wait until MP2009 is released before releasing it.

A pushpin can be in multiple groups, and special groups can be assigned for the start and end locations.

Plotting Pricing

Posted 07-21-2008 at 09:08 AM by CBP

Hello,

I just started working with MapPoint 2006 and still familiarizing myself with the program. I work for a manufacturer and I am trying to plot our dealer pricing across the US. Is there are way to show the price on the map associted with each plotted point? I've tried, and all that I have been able to do is plot different colors representing the various prices, but I would like to have all the acutal prices on the map. Thank you.

I have a newspaper buisness and have mappoint 2006 w\gps.I can download any of my 20 routes to mappoint and get a printed copy but how do I download to a gps device so a carrier can follow it and deliver a route without me spending 5 days or more traning them? This would be a huge benifit to my buisness.

Thanks,
Bob H.

Oooo! my first post!

I guess I've tended to avoid blogs and bloggers, although I did post a few posts to the EcoMapCostaRica.com blog back in May. Anyway, I thought I should post the occasional post here so some of the mpaforums/mp2kmag people know what I'm up to.

So, first an introduction...
