Guided Tours and Walkthroughs
A guided tour of MileCharter's features and benefits can be found on the official MileCharter website. The tour covers the following subjects:
'Atlas' Charts
Create 'road atlas' style charts that provide route distances and travel times between a group of cities or other locations.
Zipcode Charts
Produce similar charts but with other location types, such as zipcodes and postcodes.
Business
MileCharter can also find distances, times, and costs between one location and many locations. This example finds the distance, times, and costs for different offices to server a new customer.
Multiple Locations
Expands the concept to find the distances from a group of supply depots to a group of customers. Which depots are closest? How much will it cost for them to supply each customer?
Costs & Rate Tables
MileCharter can use Microsoft® MapPoint®'s cost estimates, but it also has the ability to compute its own sophisticated route costs based on a rate table function. For example, fixed costs or specific per-mile rates can be applied for individual distance intervals.
Closest Locations
Use MileCharter to only find the closest locations. For example, find only the sales offices which are closest to each customer.
Find Competing Stores
The 'find closest only' functionality is used to identify a competitor's store locations which represent signficant competition due to their proximity to our store locations.
Other Options
MileCharter supports MapPoint®'s other route options, including 'Avoid Areas' and different route types (fastest, shortest, preferred roads, straight lines).
Walkthrough for Microsoft MapPoint Beginners
