RouteWriter: Export Microsoft® MapPoint® Route WayPoints to Excel®
Have you tried to import or export route pushpins with Microsoft MapPoint, only to find that MapPoint refuses to preserve their route order?
If so, then RouteWriter will solve your problems. RouteWriter exports MapPoint route waypoints to Excel in their route order. Waypoints can be cross-referenced with pushpins, allowing the pushpin information to be also exported.
RouteWriter v2 adds the new RouteReader add-in. RouteReader allows you to create MapPoint routes from pushpins using a pre-determined order. This order is specified using one of the pushpin data fields - typically a sequence number imported from Excel or Access.
Benefits include:
- Export route pushpins to Excel.
- Export pushpins to a text file - Excel not required!
- Maintain the route order for the waypoints / pushpins.
- Output all available data for each pushpin.
- Output addresses and/or coordinates for each pushpin.
- Output rest breaks.
- Create a route from pushpins in a pre-determined order.
- No need to upgrade from 2002 or 2004: Works with Microsoft MapPoint 2002, 2004, and 2006.
Additional features, include:
- Ability to output waypoint distance and/or times.
- Ability to batch over-ride all waypoint stop times.
- Ability to output the optimum waypoint order, instead of the current one.
- Supports datasets with pushpins that have duplicate names.
- Route import can sort pushpins according to numeric or text fields.
- Route import supports both ascending and descending pushpin sorts.
- Walk-through tutorials.
- Supports all geographic editions of MapPoint.
- Works with the latest MapPoint 2006.
- Windows Vista, XP and 2000 are all supported.
