I have been using MS MapPoint for a few years now to display icons
(potentially thousands of them) on Maps of the UK, France and Australia, but
mainly the UK. This service costs me £4500/year (for 100,000 hits I think,
of which I use very few). I am only using the service to serve up the map
images, from then I do all the icon plotting business server side.
What I want to know is, can anyone recommend any cheaper alternitives to
MapPoint that would work for me? It would also be an imporvement if I were
allowed to keep the maps server side.

Not really familiar with the service but I know that
Google and Yahoo have MAP APIs. http://www.google.com/apis/maps/ http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/
I am actually using Yahoo's Geo APIs to get longitude and latitude of the US
address.

And may not charge, depending on your business type. If mapping is core to
business, however, you will have to pay.

Hi.
Is there anybody who have tried to use python to access Microsofts
MapPoint soap services? I am trying hard but I have run into a big
thick wall called md5 digest authentication. The MapPoint service uses
rfc2617 to authenticate the user. I have a working account for this
which works using C# dotnet and Borland Delphi 6.0. When I try to
authenticate using python it fail.
Here is what I do to provoke the rfc2617 challenge:

Hi All,
We have an Access XP application in which we utilize automation to

Now, we would really like to use the MapPoint Control in our

I am automating mappoint in access and was wondering what is a better
way to have the mappoint map running all the time:
1.call it as a seperate application
OR
2. as an activex control within a form in access.
Both will give me the same data results, but I am more concerned about
performance.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
