Easily import and export route waypoints with Microsoft MapPoint...
Have you tried to import or export route pushpins with Microsoft MapPoint, only to find that MapPoint refuses to preserve their route order?
If so, then RouteWriter will solve your problems. RouteWriter exports MapPoint route waypoints to Excel in their route order. Waypoints can be cross-referenced with pushpins, allowing the corresponding pushpin information and data fields to be exported.
RouteWriter v2 adds the new RouteReader add-in. RouteReader allows you to create MapPoint routes from pushpins using a pre-determined order. This order is specified using one of the pushpin data fields - typically a sequence number imported from Excel or Access.
Benefits include:
- Export route pushpins to Excel.
- Export pushpins to a text file - Excel not required!
- Maintain the route order for the waypoints / pushpins.
- Output all available data for each pushpin.
- Output addresses and/or coordinates for each pushpin.
- Output rest breaks.
- Create a route from pushpins in a pre-determined order.
- Create a route from sub-group(s) of pushpins in an input pushpin set.
- No need to upgrade from 2002: Works with all versions of Microsoft MapPoint from 2002 to 2010.
Additional features include:
- Ability to output waypoint distances and/or times.
- Ability to batch over-ride all waypoint stop times.
- Ability to output the optimum waypoint order, instead of the current one.
- Supports datasets with pushpins that have duplicate names.
- Route import can sort pushpins according to numeric or text fields.
- Route import supports both ascending and descending pushpin sorts.
- Route import can use special 'home' pushpins for the start and/or end locations.
- Walk-through tutorials.
- Supports all geographic and language editions of MapPoint.
- Works with the latest MapPoint 2010.
- Windows 7, Vista, and XP are all supported.
