Microsoft MapPoint 2009 helps business users to visualize, analyze, and

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.

demographic data sets in MapPoint to display trends and illustrate key

information from your connected, compatible GPS device to display your

- Voice and Text Directions for Windows XP Users: New Driving
Guidance finds your location from a connected GPS device and combines it

- Microsoft Location Finder (North America Only): New Location
Finder uses your computer’s wireless network capability and a database of
known Wi-Fi access points to display your location on maps, even if you do
not have a GPS device.

low-light conditions makes it easier to view maps on your laptop computer.
