Rating:  - GPS function
I travel 80% of the time for my job. MapPoint 2001 gives me the ability to get directions offline. The software advertise NMEA 0183 version 2.0 use on GPS units. Microsoft gives an address and the company said that it has no idial why Microsoft is directing people to there website. The software package would be worth it if it was truly compatiable with GPS units that can be attached to laptops.
Rating:  - Good for the Heavy Office User, But...
MapPoint's biggest selling point is how easy it can be integrated with Excel or Access to crossreference demographic and business statistics. If nothing else, you can easily use it as an encyclopedia of US demographic traits by state, county, ZIP code or census tract, conveniently downloadable into an Excel spreadsheet. If your work entails collecting and analyzing raw data with Excel, MapPoint can be a very powerful tool. However, MapPoint's use is limited in creating visually appealing, customizable ... Read More
Rating: - It Does A Good Job.......
I got this program because I spend a lot of time traveling by car and I use it mostly for directions and it does an adequate job of that. (I haven't got lost yet!) I guess I could probably have used Mapquest or something similar, but it was handier to be able to do what I wanted without being on-line. I do agree with other reviews though that heavy duty stuff may be best left to something else.
In short, this is an ok program.
Rating: - This Outstrips BusinessMap Pro by a Longshot
I've read the other reviews and it's true that you can't remove the any of the label layers. A bit frustrating. But if you've ever struggled with the awkward interface of, e.g., BusinessMap Pro, you'll be postively delighted with its ability to map data by zip and demography. And the interface with Excel and Access is fluent. Try that with Business Map Pro. True, the heavy corporate user might not find it as helpful, but then even they would have to be stuck with the heavy and obsolete DOS based naming conventions ... Read More
Rating:  - Functional but not Completely
MapPoint 2001 have many improvements over last years version. The converion of data from Excel/Access applications are smooth and fast. However the legends available seem to get in the way and I have not found a way to take them off the map. This software is great for the small to med business but this would could not be used well in a large organization.
