Renaming a stop?
Hello -

I have done a few searches and cannot locate an answer - if it has already been posted, I apologize.

I use MapPoint 2006 and have several routes already in place (upgraded from MP2004). The problem is, all of the stops on these routes are only listed as the address:



What I need is instead of it saying "1455 Howell Ave, etc" I want it to say "Brooksville Nursing Home" or whatever text I choose. Is there an easy way to do this from MapPoint 2006? It seems like there should be a simple "Rename" feature but I cannot seem to locate it. Thanks for any help!

Re: Renaming a stop?
Hi Scott,

I wonder ... if you show the Legend and Overview (CTRL+G)
and right-click on your dataset to show properties and choose
the balloon tab -> is the a field in there that isn't checked
which could be the name?

If not, you could export the whole dataset to Excel, add the
column Name, and then re-import to a new map.

Re: Renaming a stop?
Thanks for the reply Mike.

I am not sure what you mean by the "dataset". I see one thing that says "Data Set Properties" but it is ghosted. So is "Export to Excel" (see below).
I think I need to be in some kind of different mode to be able to export. And when I am in that mode, I can probably look at the Dataset properties also.

Hi,

Try going to the View menu and choosing Legend and Overview.
There you'll see the datasets you're using.

Re: Renaming a stop?
I must be missing something - viewing Legends and Overview takes me to this screen, but Data Set and Export are still ghosted -

On the Legend and Overview Pane are the datasets,
such as 'My PushPins.' Right-click on the icon and you'll
see the context menu where you can select Properties.

I can't type worth beans.

If you need more help, go to my site and contact me

Re: Renaming a stop?
As it turns out, there were no pushpins on this map at all!

The stops were simply typed into the Find dialog box and
added to a route and the map was saved. I found this to be
rather unusual, so I wrote a COM Addin to solve the problem:

It can be downloaded here:
www.mattysconsulting.com/demos/rt2xl.dll
It doesn't do anything for maps with pushpins.

I hope anyone who needs such a thing will find it useful
