Pepperwhite Map OCX

Does anyone know what happened to Pepperwhite? (Pepperwhite Street Map OCX / ActiveX geocoder and mapping component for Visual Basic Delphi VC++ and ASP)

They just seemed to drop off the map about a year ago.

Re: Pepperwhite Map OCX

Did you try their phone number and e-mails?

I remember people saying that pre-sales support was spotty.. but that they would get back to customers. I got the impression it might have been one guy and he was overwhelmed.

Yes. We did regular business with them for several years, but around June of last year all the phone msg and email message boxes filled up. Their last map data CD update was in 2005. It's too bad, they had a few shortcomings but it was extremely fast and versatile.

Thanks Eric, we'd actually talked about that as a possibility. I'll represent that idea our owners.
