Mapping-Tools.com is pleased to announce Version 2.1 of their GridImp product for Microsoft's MapPoint product.

GridImp is designed to plot gridded data in MapPoint - a type of data that cannot normally be plotted in MapPoint. Gridded data can be indexed in various coordinate systems and text file formats.

Version 2.1 is a maintenance release. Issues resolved include:

- Occasionally it was not possible to change the grid extents when using UK Ordnance Survey (OS) Grid References.
- Poor validation of corrupted parameters in the registry.

All existing users of GridImp v2.0 who use Ordnance Survey Grid References, are strongly recommended to upgrade to v2.1.
Existing users can download GridImp v2.1 from:

http://www.mapping-tools.com/gridimp/download.shtml

This will install over your existing installation and automatically find your existing registration license.
