| How to display a territory's map programmatically I'm trying to develop an application which can retrieve a map of a territory showing only his postal codes. I want to do this programmatically. I want to set the territory's background color and set a pushpin on every postal code (like the Mappoint Territory's Wizard). I've attached an image showing what I want to get in my web application. Is this possible programmatically? Can anyone help me, please? Thanks         |

Are you looking for a file or other source with the zipcode, post office name, a latitude and a longitude? Products with that information are available for sale, so I will assume that you want low cost (that's code for "free") The lower the cost, the more work you generally have to put into getting what you want. Take a look at the U.S. Census website and hunt around the TigerLine mapping files. Seems to me that I saw something like that when I was trashing through there a number of years ago. The borders of the zipcodes are embedded in their maps. But, the borders may be available in separate files. The easiest thing to do, then, is take an average of all of the coordinates to get a rough center. Dennis |

Hi DNJ, Thanks for your reply. I've already an excel file with zip codes and demographic data (I've exported it from MapPoint). All I need is displaying this data like the image I've attached the first (territorio.jpg). I need to do this programmatically but I can't show the territory's borders (like the fist image attached, territorio.jpg). All I can display is a map like the second image attached (a road map, Mappoint1.jpg), but this isn't enough. I don't know if there is a "layer" or something like that to display what I need. Maybe this can't be done programmatically.... Can you help me? Thanks. |

Hi locuelas, Is it possible that you are referring to a shape drawn with vertices that match the coordinates of the perimeter of your territory (that was a stupid way of not repeating 'shape') which you right-click on and choose Send Behind Roads? Two things you can do: 1) Find shp files that match and import them (spatialdata importer) 2) shapes.add ... Mike Mattys |
