RouteWriter

Import and Export Route Microsoft® MapPoint® Route Information

RouteWriter is an add-in utility for Microsoft MapPoint that exports route information to either Microsoft Excel or a text file. Waypoints are exported with travel times and distances. It is also possible to export matching pushpins and their data fields; as well as rest breaks.

RouteWriter also incorporates RouteReader. This performs the opposite action, ie. it imports pushpins into route waypoints in a specified order. Both are available directly from MapPoint's Tools menu.

RouteWriter requires a PC running Windows 2000, XP, or Vista; and Microsoft MapPoint 2002, 2004, or 2006. Microsoft Excel is also recommended.
