MileCharter Professional: Create Mileage Charts with Microsoft MapPoint

MileCharter calculates mileage charts and tables with Microsoft MapPoint. It can calculate tables for serving customers and suppliers, or to create "road atlas" tables. MileCharter can output route distances, travel times and/or estimated costs to an Excel spreadsheet; and supports ALL MapPoint routing options including fastest/shortest/ preferred-roads/st raight- line routes, road speeds, and avoid polygons. Both geographic editions (North America and Europe) of MapPoint 2002, 2004, and 2006 are supported. With the ability to batch process thousands of routes, the calculation of large mileage charts becomes practical. The rate table feature allows the simultaneous calculation of route costs. "Per mile" rates can be defined for specific distance intervals, or a fixed cost assigned to an interval (eg. for delivery charges). Microsoft Excel and Microsoft MapPoint is required (not included). New Features MileCharter v2.0 adds the capability to write to text files (instead of Excel); to pause and restart processing runs; and to only find the closest destinations that meet specific criteria. The pause/restart even works if your PC has been switched off between pausing a run, and restarting! The new "closest destinations" functionality is particularly powerful. It can be used to ask MileCharter to produce tables along the lines of "For each of my customers, return the three closest sales offices that are also within 20 miles". Intended for power users, the Professional License adds the pause/restart and "closest destinations".
