Product Overview
Microsoft MapPoint 2006 helps business users to visualize, analyze, and
communicate data. MapPoint 2006 includes updated geographic and demographic
data, plus new features including advanced GPS functionality, text and
voice-prompted driving guidance for Windows XP users, Location Finder, and more.
Dramatically improve decision-making by bringing clarity to tabular data.
Seamlessly integrate location into the work you do in Microsoft Office programs,
especially Outlook. Optimize time away from the office.
Visualize your business in a whole new way. Map your business data.
Create sales territories, analyze trends, and evaluate performance by geography.
Combine business data with demographics to target potential customers and
identify new business opportunities.

Microsoft Office programs and Microsoft SQL Server data sources.
Business trip planning made easy. Get accurate, detailed driving
directions. Import contacts from Microsoft Office Outlook, determine the
best route, and find nearby meeting locations.
MapPoint 2006 is a stand-alone application in Office XP. However, it does
enable users to seamlessly import data from Office XP applications such as
Access, Excel or the Outlook messaging and collaboration client, and easily
copy, paste and embed maps into work they are doing in the PowerPoint
presentation graphics, Word or Publisher applications.
MapPoint also enables users to geographically select information from maps
that can be exported to Excel spreadsheets for further analysis or use. MapPoint
smart tags recognize geographic information in the user’s office document, and
a MapPoint button is added to the toolbar in the Office applications. These
tools allow users to insert a map and driving directions easily, and create maps
from their data without leaving the Office application.
