 Microsoft helps you find your way! July 6, 2001

I am very impressed with Microsoft's newest MapPoint edition. We have been able to illustrate office locations, insert maps onto our website, and send directions/maps as attachments via e-mail.A terrific product for the consumer market.

I have used De Lome and have their GPS etc. MS Map Point is far superior in my opinion. Easier to use, more features, ... , hands down better.James J. Van Vooren
 Excellent mapping product but... with one exception. December 23, 2002

I have used MapPoint for about three years now and I just upgraded. Overall, it is an excellent, full-featured product that is very intuitive and easy to use. I use MapPoint along with a full-blown professional ArcView-based GIS system. I find that MapPoint allows me to perform "quick and dirty" and relatively simple GIS tasks without having to get into the more complicated and time consuming - albeit more capable - ArcView GIS system. Truth is, I could probably rely completely on MapPoint except for one shortfall in the program. You can only create customized boundaries based on the pre-existing included boundaries (Census Tracts, Zip Code areas, etc.). For example, rather than being able to go in and create a boundary around a neighborhood, I have to conform this "custom" boundary to something like Zip code boundaries or census tracts, etc. that are inluded in MapPoint. Microsoft, include this feature in MapPoint 2003 and you will get 10-stars!
 Obsolete when it hits your door October 26, 2002

While the mapping and search capability is awesome, the package is hopelessly obsolete when you get it.Freeways that went in near me three years ago are not reflected. If the files could be updated, I say it's a worthwhile product. In this case, though, it is not.
missing and / or bad data February 17, 2002

As with Microsoft's other trip planning software the data supporting places is both missing in many cases or just bad data. I had hoped that in their high end product that they would have improved the data supporting their product. They should leave the mapping software to Rand McNally and similar professionals.As a business professional I can't afford to use Microsoft's product and arrive at the wrong site.
