336 Simon Farrow - August 17, 2001

I am looking at buying MapPoint Europe 2002 edition, but I'm not sure it can do what I require. I am writing a Call Centre Application in Visual Basic 6. If a client phones up with a broken down car and can give me the PostCode or Streetname where he/she is, I then need to be able to scan within a set radius i.e 20 miles and return all the garages we are members of. Is this possible in MapPoint Europe 2002 Thanks in advance, Simon

Answer:

I was looking at doing something similar recently, it *should* be possible, but you might have to program a little GIS functionality of your own in VB. I would recommend getting the demo and handing it to your developer to noodle over.
