Question Coastal Boundaries
I am looking to acquire Digital Coastal Boundaries for specifc states that can be imported into MapPoint 2006 or - better yet - extract the coastal boundaries from MapPoint 2006 itself. Any ideas or suggestions?

Re: Coastal Boundaries
Extracting the coastlines from MapPoint is probably against the EULA. It is impossible anyway - none of that information is visible in the programming interface.

Coastline data will be available from a US Gov. organization for free. Which one is a good question - I would try the USGS (or wider still, the Department of Interior) first.
They'll have the data as ESRI SHP ('Shape') files. It is surprising what Uncle Sam has available in the way of map files - I'm currently using some admin / coastline boundaries for Costa Rica that are available on the CDC website!

Getting Shape files into MapPoint is possible using a third party tool. A number exist including our own MPSuperShape. If you have programming abilities, you may find it better to use the SpatialDataImport program that Microsoft have available as a demo. This has a number of problems, but the source is available so you can hack it to meet your specific needs.
