Re: gascard sites

Hi,

I'm afraid this will violate the end user agreement because your users will not have nececarly a MapPoint licence installed.

But you can do this also with Microsoft MapPoint Web Service, and also with Microsoft Virtual Earth.

Re: gascard sites

ok MapPoint Web Service is this in the map point program or is it seperate. (if it is seperate can i download it), Microsoft Virtual Earth (same for this one). these will let me do it so that my customers can click and get a map etc.... now as far as the different colors for different sites. is it as simple as changing the color of the push pins? is there a way i can get detailed with it i.e. im doing convenient stores called town & country, is there a way i can have it to where can type in town & countrys in say austin texas, and it pops up all the town and countrys.

Re: gascard sites

This sounds like it could be an ideal application for Virtual Earth.

The Web Service is a subscription service, but you might need that if Microsoft's commercial license for Virtual Earth is not acceptable.
