MPMileCharter

Create Mileage Charts with Microsoft MapPoint

 

 

MPMileCharter is an add-in utility for Microsoft MapPoint that calculates mileage charts. Output can include travel times and estimated costs, as well as route distances. Charts can be created to/from individual locations or groups of pushpins. Charts can be produced using the fastest, shortest, or direct straight-line distances. Output is written to either a text file or a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The Professional Edition of MPMileCharter also includes the facility to only report the fastest or shortest routes.

 

MPMileCharter requires a PC running Windows 7, XP, or Vista; Microsoft .NET Framework v4.0; and Microsoft MapPoint 2006 - 2011. Microsoft Excel is also required if you wish to create Microsoft Excel spreadsheets..
