Find and Illustrate Business Data on Maps

Quickly Pinpoint Customer or Business Locations
Need to find a county, city, or even a specific street address in the United States or Canada? Simply type in your information to get a set of possible matches. Provide exact information and Microsoft MapPoint™ 2001 zooms to the best map view. The Intelligent Location Find feature swiftly resolves misspellings and omissions—for instance, returning "Topeka, Kansas," when asked to find "tpka, ks."

Customize your map by using familiar Office family drawing tools. MapPoint 2001 has adapted these tools to make them specific to annotating maps. For example, you can place objects behind roads on a street-level map by using the Send Behind Roads command.
