Section 3.8. Where Are We?


3.8. Where Are We?

In this chapter, you have learned how to work with native demographic data and your business data to generate data maps in different map styles. You have also seen how to import data into MapPoint from variety of data source such as text, Excel, Access, SQL, and so on. We also have examined working with shapes, drivetime zones, and territories.

Working with the DataSets and Shapes collections can be among the most interesting tasks of the MapPoint APIs. These two objects provide the core of the location-based business intelligence processing power within MapPoint 2004.

In the next chapter, I will shift the focus slightly from the core MapPoint 2004 to focus on performance, interfacing with other applications by writing Add-Ins, and making MapPoint 2004 work with GPS devices.
