Microsoft MapPoint has an API (Application Programming Interface) which allows most MapPoint operations to be automated or extended. The interface is implemented using COM, and is accessible from any COM-capable programming language.

The pages in this section demonstrate how to perform various tasks with MapPoint using the COM interface from a range of different programming languages.

    Hi,

    I am looking for an API or a SDK for MapPoint so I can add functions to MapPoint like you do with MPSuperShape.

    I want to be able to translate some of MapPoint’s functionality to French.

    Thanks for you help!

    Tony: The samples here should help to get you going. You do not need a special SDK: MapPoint ships with its own API – this is documented in MapPoint’s help file. The API is based on COM, so it can be used with any COM-capable language.
