MPRouteWriter v3 has just been released. This is a major new version that includes support for the Microsoft .NET Framework.

New features include:

- Smoother handling of Excel and the user interface
- Ability for RouteWriter to sort pushpin data fields by name for consistency
- Ability to set rest stops & rest intervals (RouteWriter and RouteReader)
- RouteWriter can export waypoint coordinates without the need for pushpins
- RouteReader now supports start and end groups with multiple pushpins
- Should support future versions of Windows
- Rebranding as "MPRouteWriter"

MPRouteWriter allows you to export a route's waypoints and matching pushpins to Excel (or a text file) whilst maintaining route order. Pushpin information, waypoint information, and rest stop information can all be exported.

MPRouteWriter also includes MPRouteReader which does the opposite: It creates a route from existing pushpins using a pre-defined order. The order is defined using a pushpin data field (eg. a sequence number). A subset of the pushpin set can also be selected.

Further information and a free 14 day trial can be found on the official MPRouteWriter website at:
