Great Mapping Software [Posted on 2007-05-29]
MapPont is an excellent mapping software. Finds locations accurately and has a built in link to MapPoint's website that provides aerial views of the location. The only flaw that I have discover in the software is that MapPoint does not allow you to export the locations (points) with simple geographic data attached, such as latitude and longitude coordinates, census tracts, and zip codes. You can view this information on the screen, but when you export the points, the information is not. You are, however able to write your own programs (if you posses computer programming skills) and use the program as a plug-in to export the information, but this is not a simple task if you don't posses the required skill.

It would have been great if MapPoint would either have these feature included or provide simple step-by-step instruction and tools to accomplish this.

Overall, this is an excellent mapping program that I highly recommend and hope future versions will have better export options.
