MapForums

Hello,

First time in this forum but I am an old guy with MapPoint. I started with 2000 and have 2004 2006 and now 2009. A couple of issues right off the bat were a total lack of pushpins and then the demographics. Pushpins had to imported one at a time and then saved so they will open the next time. A work around but solvable. The demographics though are not. First, I would like to have the source of this data named so we can substantiate the data we use. NavTeq? Where does this information come from?

Second, issue (Deal breaker) is the "MSA" breakout is now the CBSA breakout even though is says "MSA" now here are 938 MSA's and the old maps 2006 of the area for MSA is now the CBSA. Should be 331 MSA's. Demographic data is all now Core Based Statistical Area yet labeled Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is not just labels or headings... the MSA definition (outline) on the maps has changed and old outlines are gone. This is a real problem for me when using MapPoint for market analysis.... the markets changed!!! The population is not comparable...none of the demographics (at market level) can be compared.
