MileCharter

Create Mileage Charts with Microsoft MapPoint

 

 

MileCharter 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 a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The Professional Edition of MileCharter also includes the facility to only report the fastest or shortest routes.

 

MileCharter requires a PC running Windows 2000, XP, or Vista; and Microsoft MapPoint 2002, 2004, or 2006. Microsoft Excel is also required.
