| Re: Comparing mapping tools, something simple to place truck icons on a map
Your question doesn't make sense or the poll mixes two or three questions? Anyway, note that the second P in MapPoint is capitalized, also the I in MapInfo, also all of ESRI should be capitalized. My own vote is that they should all be easy to use with c#. For a fleet tracking solution as you describe, with MapPoint you may need to get a Fleet license which is $750 (instead of the normal retail license) and available through MapPoint ISV-R providers and also through MS volume licensing. good luck!

| Re: Comparing mapping tools, something simple to place truck icons on a map
MapPoint seems to be the easiest in that there's quite a bit of support. Only place it comes short that I've found so far is that when I try to route 55,000 addresses in our area, between 3,000 and 4,000 of them aren't in MapPoint, some of which were constructed 3 years ago. I'm able to work around it by entering longitudes and latitudes for that data but it just seems strange that a huge program like MapPoint wouldn't update data sets often. |

Seems kind of silly to me to poll for which mapping tool to use in a mappoint forum... It's like going to a hockey game and polling to see how many there like hockey. |
