Congressional Districts

There was an old 'wishlist' post asking if there was a way to map congreessional districts with MapPoint - there were no answers. Has this topic been revisited? Can anyone tell me where this mapping data is availiable and how to get it into MapPoint. (I know it's included in Maptitude so the data is out there somewhere, probably as census tract files)

Can you get the Maptitude data into MapInfo mif/mid or ESRI shape files? There is some sample code called the "Spatial Data Importer developer sample" that can be used to import boundaries from these formats.

If you go to this link
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/cd108.html#shp
you can download shapefiles for CD's in each state and then use the
spatial data import to bring in the shapefile.
