Mappoint newbie here- need to be able to map multiple lat/lons on a map of a predefined area, and show map w/pushpins on a webpage on our intranet- is this easily done, and with which products/technologies?

How many desktops are there? Does it have to be an Intranet? I would think you could develop a desktop application that would provide the functionality you're looking for? If for instance, there are 20 desktop, that's roughly 20 X $200 or $4,000, less I think if you research volume discounts. See http://www.mp2kmag.com/order.asp. Hope this helps! - Eric

Do you need it to be dynamic? You might check out MapPoint .NET. If you can live with manually creating static maps, the desktop product should fit the bill.

Thanks for the response- but the data is coming from the GPS units installed in our trucks. It needs to be near-realtime, where a click on refresh will display the latest positions. From what I can gather, Mappoint .NET fits the bill, its just way more money than is in the budget right now- looks like it's targeted toward much higher volume. Any alternatives?
