MapForums

Hi everyone,
i wonder whether you could help me. I ordered the Mappoint 2004 European Trial version in order to explore the possibilities within Mappoint. As I live and work in Asia I was looking for a mapping software which very conveniently visualizes certain business data e.g. sales by regional clusters e.g. provinces or postal codes. Mappoint however only comes along with such a break down for Europe and NA, hence i wonder whether there are any possibilities how to create territories within those none supported countries, e.g. Philippines? I am not a programmer, hence my knowledge in this regard is limited (even though I am very openminded of learning more). Are there any simple solutions, e.g. more specified maps already available somewhere else?
I really believe that mapping a business and the underlying market is a powerful tool and therefore would be happy if anyone of you could help me further.
Best regards,
Tobias

No MapPoint doesn't support this kind of functionality for the Philippines.
Although I think MS will release further geographical editions (Australia and India both sound like they would be popular), I'm guessing the Phillipines would be down the list unless a "Pacific" edition was produced.

I don't know if there are any local products for you. If not, you may need a full GIS (MapInfo, ArcGIS, etc)
