Mapping out customer base

[krisp23]

Does anyone know of a website or software package that lets you map out addresses. I have used Mapquest, but you can only put 5 locations on a map at once. I would like to find something that will let me put 20+ locations. I would like to put my entire customer base on a map so I can plan my work more efficiently. Thank you.

I use Microsoft Streets and Trips 2002.......got it cheap at Costco. You have to manually enter the addresses, but its fabulous for planning a work day, if you're not sure where to go first.


I am about to take it to the next level. I just bought the ServiceCEO software from Insight Direct (www.insightdirect.com) and this interfaces with Microsoft Map Point software............which allows you do all kinds of things with mapping out your database.

Try the streets and trips..........it has helped me save sooo much time. You type in the addresses, and it shows them as numbers on the map, then you can organize them in the order you want to visit them.

Mike, what would you say is the breakeven point for using this type of software - i.e. how many stops per day? B2

Sorry bill, but I dont understand your question. Are you referring to the cheapo Streets and Trips software or the other one I mentioned?

I think each individual person/company has to decide for themselves if it's worth it.

If you are looking to map out your entire list ( not just a days route) Microsoft's MapPoint 2000 isw great! you can import hundreds of addresses at a time from various other programs. You can color code your points. I have been using it since its release in 99' and highly recomend it.

You can get mappoint for a good price on ebay.

Circuit City's ad in todays paper has Microsoft Streets and Trips 2002 for $4.99 after rebates...........can't beat that.
