MapPoint allows only a maximum of 10,000 street addresses to be mapped. It then maps zip code address only. Is there a way around this. I want to map 40,000 unique street addresss in one map.

Can anyone please help?

I think you can separate your list into four lists and then bring them in as four separate datasets.. have you tried that?

Thanks for your reply. I tried that and thought it was working, but when I checked the location of the pins, I noticed that they were mapped to the zip code rather than to the street address. I am going to try that again however...maybe I didn't pay close enough attention when going through the importing wizard process. I will let you know.

It worked! I divided my database in to four subsets of less than 10,000 records. Created new map from group one and than imported group two, then group three etc. and it worked. I now have one map with nearly 40,000 records mapped to their street address. I think I just wasn't paying attention during the import wizard and was mapping to zip code rather than address.

Thanks for getting me to try this again!

Oh great! Have a good weekend..

I didn't realise, thanks for the tip this would have caused me a world of problems later on if I hadn't known!
