We have just released a major new version of our popular MileCharter product.
Version 3.0 is a major re-write that leverages Microsoft's .NET framework. It has also been rebranded "MPMileCharter" in line with our other products.

- Support for text file output to tab separated and comma separated files
- Ability to set all of MapPoint's routing options through the MPMileCharter user interface
- Natural sort for pushpins sorts numeric identifiers correctly
- Ability to hide Excel during processing
- Should support future versions of Windows
Benefits of using MPMileCharter included:
- Ability to calculate route distances, travel times, and estimated costs all at the same time.
- Easily calculate atlas-style tables between all locations within one group.
- Calculate tables with different source and destination groups.
- Supports sophisticated and flexible route cost calculations using rate tables.
- Find the shortest routes, fastest routes, or straight line distances.
- Find the 'closest only' destinations.
- Triangular and square mileage charts to match your required style.

- Travel times can include or exclude automatic rest stops and overnight stops.
The ability to compute "closest locations" (eg. "find the 3 closest sales offices to each of my customers within 30 minutes drive time"); and a Pause/Restart capability are only available in the Professional License.
