MapPoint performance and installation on Citrix

dejongm — Thu, 23 May 2013 09:50:39 GMT

Hi,

I am working with a client that has around 300 separate installations of MapPoint on separate PCs. They are undertaking a desktop modernization programme and we are considering making MapPoint available only via Citrix instead.

Does anyone have any recent experience of installing (and using!) MapPoint on Citrix servers. Any gotchas?
How does integration with Office work in this kind of scenario?
What is performance like when MapPoint is accessed via Citrix? Are the graphics, response times, etc. OK?

Thanks!

Importing Greek Prefectures problem

Lettuce1980 — Thu, 09 May 2013 20:43:01 GMT

Hello from Greece,
This is my first post so please be kind!
I have tried to import the population of Greece in the map with no errors but the analysis isn't by prefecture , only by region. It seems that the application ignores all the Greek Prefectures and shows only the sum of the data by region.When I 'm importing the xls file everything seems ok , all the columns are recognized correctly with no errors.I am selecting for the amount of population for each prefecture. I'm choosing shaded area for my map type and population for the data field but the "Prefecture" column doesnt appear in the "show the data type by " field .Have i done something wrong. Could you please help me. I would like to make a sales map for the company I am working for.

I am using the Mappoint 2013 trial Europe version.
Excuse me for my bad English and thank you in advance.

Mapping Lat/Long With Radius and sector

mhaleen — Wed, 08 May 2013 16:53:57 GMT

Ok Guys, Hopefully you can help with this.

I have an excel sheet with lat/long and other data. Basically it is a sheet of Cellular Call Detail History and Cellular Tower locations indicated as a lat/Long. This information shows what cellular tower a person was using during a specific phone call. Cell towers are generally divided into three 120 degree sectors, so with the included data is the beginning angle and ending angle for the cell site sector. What I am looking to do is import the data into Mappoint 2013 and create a map showing the cell tower location along with a 120 degree sector used. The picture would look similar to a point on a map with a triangle point beginning at that point.

I have already used the Lat/Long Circle Radius program and that works great but I am looking to add to it a little bit to include the sector of each circle.

I have attached a jpeg of what I am trying to achieve and attached the excel sheet. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated as I am very new to Mappoint.

Thanks

Plotting stops using postcodes and Geo-locations

DaveN — Wed, 08 May 2013 09:06:45 GMT

Hi,
i am using MP 2009 and a dataset that consists of address, postcodes and long/lats, some of the long/lat data is missing however, which then prevents the stop from being plotted on the map.
I would like MP to use long/lats as the primary source, and where this data is missing to then use postcodes instead so that all the stops are included. Is this possible ?

Is there a way to display address detail in the route planner tab instead of long/lats when creating a route ?

thanks in anticipation.

Cannot remove GPS trail

MapsUser — Tue, 07 May 2013 04:22:20 GMT

A GPS trail from a recent travel that I saved together with my various waypoints can't be removed in AutoRoute 2011 (which is basically the same as MapPoint). I used to remove such trails by pointing to it with the mouse cursor, then right click and "cut" that trail. The "cut" function is no longer available. How shall I proceed to remove that ennoying trail anyway?

Map Point Registry Error

Ian Urquhart — Thu, 02 May 2013 10:28:55 GMT

Hiya

I have a fairly serious problem with mappoint everytime i try to run i always get an error

your registry settings for this application were not copied correctly....

i have tried pretty much everything except reinstalling windows. I have got round the issue by creating a new user but frankly this is not the way i want to go about it.

Im Running windows 8 Pro and Map Point 2011

Any Ideas??
