MapPoint 2006

Can I purchase a trial version of MapPoint 2006?

Not yet from what I know. Maybe in a few weeks (the NA version anyway). I am still waiting for over a month now to get some MapPoint 2004 trials in stock. My contact at MS has not responded to my most recent e-mail from a few days ago.

In other words: If I ordered MapPoint 2004 Trial, it's not even in stock? I've never used MapPoint and I don't want to get stuck with something that may not work so well in a rual mountain community.

Eric, perhaps you can answer some of my major concerns are:

1. Will I be able to override the routes given by MapPoint (considering it gives an INEFFECIENT ROUTE that must be corrected)?
2. In case it doesn't accurately LOCATE particular DESTINATIONS, can I correct it manually?
3. And, if so: Will MapPoint SAVE the manually corrected routes when given the same directions in the again future?

The book MapPoint for Dummies includes MapPoint 2002 trial CD's, I have those in stock.

Yes, yes, and no.. actually you can put in "Avoidance polygons", it's a little work but it would do let you override force routes to go where you want and it can be saved into the default map template.
