Pushpin Symbols for Microsoft® MapPoint® 2004 & 2006
This article is based on a previous article published in the MP2K Magazine. The earlier article also has a discussion thread.
Microsoft MapPoint 2004 introduced a number of new symbols for use as pushpins. Unfortunately, Microsoft forgot to update the MapPoint documentation with the new symbols! Instead, the documentation only lists the pushpin symbols that were present in Microsoft MapPoint 2002. This document lists all of the symbols available in Microsoft MapPoint 2004 & 2006, and their corresponding numbers. These numbers are required by some add-in utilities, and they are useful for custom programming.
Microsoft MapPoint 2006 has the same pushpin symbols as Microsoft MapPoint 2004. Microsoft MapPoint 2006's documentation has also been corrected and lists all of the pushpin symbols.
Microsoft MapPoint 2002 Symbols
These are the original Microsoft MapPoint 2002 symbols. These are all listed in Microsoft's own documentation, but are provided here for completeness:
