I came across a computer at a place I used to work that has MapPoint 2000 installed on it and thought I'd share a screenshot, see attached.

It has no Territory functionality, but it has something called Pushpin Explorer that looks interesting. I guess they decided it was redundant with the Legend.

Does anybody know if you can get proper training from microsoft on how to use it? I have been dealing with MapPoint 2006 and everything that I have learnt is through playing around with it!
However, I would like to organise for some of my fellow employees to get proper training utilising every feature of the software...

Can anyone help me out on this?

John,

I've done on-site MapPoint training for several different companies over the years. I finally settled on teaching out of the MapPoint for Dummies book. Although we end up spending some time flipping through the pages and aren't as focused as say if we used a tight workbook, the people getting trained get a sense of what's in the book and walk away with a good reference they are not as likely to throw away as a 20 page workbook.

Also, at least half the time training is always (so far at least) working with the company's data, helping them explore the options in MapPoint and different ways to look at the data.. sort of like a workshop. No matter how much I prepare, we always come up with new ideas during the workshop sessions.

Other training materials

The help file tutorials are pretty good and detailed, the sample data directory is installed whenever you install MapPoint.

The web sites below are not organized as a tutorial for learning, but contain a wealth of information about MapPoint.

MP2Kmag.com is an online e-zine with lots of articles.

This site, MapForums.com is a very active forum for users and developers of MapPoint.

There is also a Wiki at MapElves.com.

hope this helps!
