MapPoint 2006 Special Issue 
MapPoint 2006Welcome to a special edition of the MP2Kmag Update focusing on MapPoint 2006. The North American version was released several weeks ago and the European version is slated to come out in just a few weeks. Both versions of MapPoint 2006 include all new street and demographics data, a new map style for night-time driving, and a number of cool GPS features for navigation and driving. Check the features section for more details.

The North American version of MapPoint 2006 is widely available from retailers and some Microsoft MapPoint Partners. You can also purchase directly from our store or pre-order the European version using our secure order form.

Sometime later in August or September we are planning to publish another e-book "MP2Kmag's Guide to What's New in MapPoint 2006" covering both the North American and European versions. If you did not previously read it, take a look at the What's New Guide we published in 2003 for MapPoint 2004 - MapPoint-2004-Guide.zip. The new publication will be along these lines but we plan to go more in depth. For a limited time you can pre-order the guide for $8, after publication the price will go up to $15.

MP2K Magazine is your source for independent news and information about MapPoint technologies and products and is home to the popular web forum for MapPoint users and developers. In this issue we feature new articles from Mohanraj Annamalai and Richard Marsden. We also publish a map submitted by Coverpoint MapPoint training from their e-book series of 101 MapPoint usage scenarios for business.

101 MapPoint Usage Examples from Coverpoint

New RestaurantThis is map usage scenario #18 from the e-book "101 Studies in Data Visualization Using Maps - Book 1" recently released by Coverpoint.

SCENARIO:
Business is doing well and the time has come to open another restaurant.

QUESTION:
Where is the best place to open the next one. It must not be too far from the original in case some staff have to travel to the new one in the early days.

METHOD:
Plot customers according to their postcodes and the location of the main restaurant to identify where our present customers are coming from.

OUTCOME:
As would be expected the majority of customers come from the Chelmsford area. Although customers are traveling from a good geographic spread it can be seen that Brentwood supplies quite a few as well as Billericay. Brentwood is chosen to be the location for the next restaurant "Sanctuary 2" This location choice has enough proximity to Basildon and also the East london area to give it every chance of success.

Writers often plug their consulting service or other business interest through their bio which appears at the bottom of the article. Others do it for the Large MapPoint Mug (see right!). Whatever the reason, it is rewarding to share and take credit for the knowledge you share with the rest of the community.

Snap to a Road Implementing Location-Based Functionalities with the MapPoint Web Service Implementing Location-Based Functionalities with the MapPoint Web Service

This article by Mohanraj Annamalai illustrates how to find the center point from a set of Latitudes and Longitudes. The article also discusses how to programmatically generate a map using the Microsoft MapPoint Web Service and implement interactive features like: re-centering a map based on the clicked location, panning north, south, east, and west.

"When implementing location-based functionalities (e.g. rendering maps) for business applications, finding the center of the data set is an important step. The mode “the number with the highest frequency” - does a nice job in telling where the center of the data set is. This article illustrates how to find the center point from a set of Latitudes and Longitudes. The article also discusses how to programmatically generate maps using the Microsoft MapPoint Web Service and implement interactive features like: re-centering a map based on the clicked location, panning north, south, east, and west."

PythonUsing Python to Control MapPoint, Part 2

Second of a two-part article by Richard Marsden on scripting MapPoint using Python. In this part Richard shows how to use Python to plot the “250 largest cities in California”.

"In Part 1, I showed how Python could be used to control MapPoint. Python is a scripting language that is ideally suited to text processing. Hence it can be used as a replacement for MapPoint’s Data Import Wizard in situations that require some processing intelligence. As an example, we will use it to plot the “250 largest cities in California”.

Our source data is the US Census Bureau’s 2000 Gazetteer of Places. This file (places2k.txt) and format specification can be found here:
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/places2k.html

The data file is a text file, with one line per place. A place is typically a town or city, although it may also be a CDP (Census Designated Place) – ie. an unincorporated town. Each line follows a fixed column format, and includes information such as location (longitude, latitude), area, and population."
