Post by RichardLeAZI HAVE AN EXCEL DATABASE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO IMPORT INTO A MAPPING PROGRAM.
CAN I DO THIS IS STREETS, AND TRIPS AND IF NOT, DOES ANYONE KNOW A MAPPING
PROGRAM THAT CAN DO THIS?
How long is a piece of string? :-)
There are dozens of different ways of plotting map data.
Streets and Trips should be able to plot data as pushpin points.
Microsoft MapPoint is in the same family but has more support for
businesses type applications (eg. plotting data), demographics,
customization, etc.
For your question, this means you have a lot more plotting options - eg.
different sized circles (perhaps sales?) or pie charts, or shaded areas.
There's a free trial of MapPoint on the Microsoft website which you
could try.
I think there's probably a free trial of Streets & Trips as well - have
a look, but I think Marvin could probably confirm.
