@mappingtoolsPushpins can be imported as entire datasets, or added manually. To manually place a pushpin on the map, press the pushpin symbol on the Create Pushpin drop-down button on MapPoint’s tool bar:
The Add Pushpin button on the MapPoint toolbar
After pressing this button, click on the map to place the pushpin:
A new pushpin on the map
Note that you will have to press the button each time you want to place a new pushpin.
After creating a new pushpin, you can change its name, text, and symbol.
Hi, im using access 2007 and have developed a database and trying to intergrate mappoint 2010 it. My goal is to Take One Address, compare it to other addresses in our database and return all of the other addresses within X miles radius. Then plot these addresses
On Mappoint.
Is this possible? Any help would appreciated.
Thank you
Plot your data points with pushpins to find their locations, using the Data Import Wizard.
If you have coordinates then you can do radius calculations using the Haversine formula (and not worry about MapPoint). Or you could draw radius circles, and use the Export to Excel function.
For route distances, you can use the Drive Time Zones; or you could use the “Find Closest” option in our MileCharter add-in product.
We just recently started using Map Point 2010. The main objective was to be able to enter all our clients we have met with and then with a different color thumb tack, put in all the clients we would like to visit. Is there a way to do this? Or is Map point not used for this? The owner of the business has the idea he could use it for more of a sales tool. Keeping track of clients in the area.
I tried entering different addresses but all go under the same category (my pushpins) and all are red.
Please help! Thanks!
If you are entering the pushpins “by hand”, then right click on the pushpin to change its symbol (under properties) – there are over 300 to choose from.
Is there anyway to have several different folders under my push pins?
Arrange your pushpins into pushpin sets.
Thanks so much!!!!
I am trying to get locations automatically numbered on the map. Is there a way to automatically hvae MapPoint display the locations with a numbered point instead of a push pin, or do you need to manually change them?
You can use the “Multiple Symbol” option in the Data Import Wizard, but this will only import 8 symbol types at a time (it is intended to plot many more pushpins – but with multiple pushpins using the same symbol type). The only other options are to do it manually or with custom programming.
Hi Richard,
I have loaded potential leads into MapPoint and added existing customers as well. Both pushpins are differentiated by color, but I would also like to display the SIC code of the respective records. How can I do that?
You could write it in the “Notes” if the pushpins have been manually inserted. Or if you’ve used the Data Import Wizard, import them as a new data field.
Either way, the codes will appear in the popup ‘balloon’ window for each pushpin. This is the only way I can think of showing it (other than changing the pushpin symbol to match the code).
Hi Richard,
I have MP2010 and I want to add addresses and more info to my push pins I have about 6000 of them and I did not notice that some of them the address is not filled in by default when I place down a push pin, Is there a way I can have map point generate that address?
Thanks.
MapPoint will only ‘fill in’ the street address if you provide it (eg. to locate the pushpin). It does not have a ‘reverse geocoding’ facility as such (finding the street address of a point or coordinate).
