Plotting over MapPoint maps

Can anyone offer pointers, suggestions on how to overlay coordinate
(Lat, Long)-based MatPlotLib graphics over a MapPoint map ?

Thank you for your help.

For geographic maps in Python, see Thuban and related projects at
http://thuban.intevation.org/

No idea whether it is possible to display MapPoint maps (that's a
proprietary Microsoft map format, isn't it?) in Thuban or overlay
Matplotlib charts.

You might want to look at R instead (see http://www.r-project.org) - it
provides facilities to display rudimentary maps, charts and plots and
raster images all in the same graphic. There are also several
geostatistics modules available for it. You can drive R and send and
receive data to/from it via RPy (http://rpy.sf.net).

Now, we would really like to use the MapPoint Control in our application to give our users active maps to interact with, but the control's help page explicitly states that it is NOT for use in Access: (With MapPoint 2004, the MapPoint Control is supported only in

Hi, I need to be able to click onto a map and then drill down to a report. For example, could we have a map of the Chicagoland area with clickable areas (zip code) and when a user clicks on an area it would drill down to a list of stores (Crystal Reports) for that clicked area. Could Mappoint do this? If not is there something else you could recommend (Crystal Report's maps (8.5) is not very good)? Also, with our Action Pack...

I used MS mappoint 2004 to show market data based on ZIP (very cool). How do I get this moved to the web? I'd like our sales dept to be able to pan/zoom the US and apply/remove different statistical "overlays" based on our live SQL 2K db. Do I need a different product?
