Re: Crack Mappoint 2013

I'm able to get x,y coordinates with view's click event. But i want to get xy coordinates with mouse move. For this i tried to get x,y below code. But i'm seeiny mouse X and Mouse Y, Not mappointX and Mappoint.Y
Hi, I am looking to overlay two maps, one shows a filled in area based on post codes (salesman area) and another dataset shows a boundary line based on another set of post codes. IS this possible? Could do this in mappoint.
Thanks for responses - so currently no. Will have to continue to use Mappoint, (workaround is I have the two maps sat side by side in the report, not ideal, but workable). I thought Mappoint was being discountinued.
Hi can someone tell me a good alternative to mappoint , because mappoint does not have support anymore , the thing is that the people at the offices here are use to mappoint and i dont know if they will ever get used to another software like mappoint , i was thinking since mappoint is not supported anymore is there a chance that microsoft wouldnt ask for a activation on a new instaled mappoint 2013 ?
Maptitude is simply great, easy to learn with a best in class help system and context help for all functions and also many videos (YouTube). I use it on a daily basis in my logistics consultancy activities with maps for many countries (USA, France, UK, Netherlands, Germany). I do not think that you will find a better alternative.
I would recommend Maptitude as well. I never used MapPoint but reviewed many years ago when it first came out. I found Maptitude to be just as easy to use but much more powerful for advanced analysis.
I too like Paullucassen and mikecline2 recommend Maptitude as replacement alternative to MapPoint. I found Maptitude easy to learn and easily imports MapPoint files. With Maptitude I can also import many other GIS formats that I often find online, including shapefiles from government agencies such as parcel files. I also export my analysis / maps in KML to send to clients to open in Google Maps / Earth.
I have embeded Maptitude maps within MS Word when I need it linked, but often I just save as image within Maptitude and paste directly in my reports. Also, on few occasion I exported Maptitude maps as emf (enhanced meta files) into PowerPoint where I could then ungroup areas and make other design changes needed for my presentations.
A mappoint vector is a container object that holds planar point coordinates and attributes. The points are coupled, such that the size of the x- and y-coordinate arrays are always equal and match the size of any dynamically added attribute arrays. Each entry of a coordinate pair and associated attributes, if any, represents a discrete element in the mappoint vector.
p = mappoint() constructs an empty mappoint vector, p, with these default property settings:p = 0x1 mappoint vector with properties: Collection properties: Geometry: 'point' Metadata: [1x1 struct] Feature properties: X: [] Y: []
p = mappoint(x,y,Name,Value) constructs a mappoint vector, then adds dynamic properties to the mappoint vector using Name, Value argument pairs. You can specify several name-value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.
p = mappoint(structArray) constructs a new mappoint vector, assigning the fields of the structure array, structArray, as dynamic properties. Field values in structArray that are not numeric values, string scalar, string array, character vectors, or cell arrays of numeric values or character vectors are ignored.
Dynamic properties are new features that are added to a mappoint vector and that apply to each individual feature in the mappoint vector. You can attach dynamic Feature properties to a mappoint object during construction with a Name,Value pair or after construction using dot (.) notation. This is similar to adding dynamic fields to a structure. For an example of adding Feature properties dynamically, see Construct a Mappoint Vector for Multiple Features and Examine Autosizing.
If a Metadata field is provided by structArray, and both Metadata and structArray are scalar structures, then the Metadata field value is copied to the Metadata property value. If structArray is a scalar but the Metadata field is not a structure, then an error is issued. If structArray is not scalar, then the Metadata field is ignored.
Add a MinLevel and MaxLevel feature property to indicate the lowest and highest binned level. Add a dynamic feature property to indicate the z-coordinate. Add a dynamic Feature property to indicate a binned level value and a color value for a given level. Include metadata information from the MAT-file.
If you typically store x- and y-coordinate values in an n-by-2 or 2-by-m array, you can assign a mappoint object to these numeric values. If the values are stored in an n-by-2 array, then the X property values are assigned to the first column and the Y property values are assigned to the second column.
If X, Y, or a dynamic property is set with more values than features in the mappoint vector, then all other properties expand in size using 0 for numeric values and an empty character vector ('') for cell values.
If a dynamic property is set with fewer values than the number of features, then this dynamic property expands to match the size of the other properties, by inserting a 0 if the value is numeric or an empty character vector (''), if the value is a cell array.
This allows us to place a marker on a specific position determined from mappoint.data. It is useful to mark any point of interest, like cities or the location of events in new stories. We can set these positions with the values of lat and lon coordinates.
It also supports setting the location as a geometry object. A geometry is directly compliant to GeoJSON feature collections and TopoJSON geometries, so that these can be used directly either as data or mapData.
Its really all about the use case here. I agree with A__M, Cartographica would be a good choice if you are looking to do GIS on the Mac. So that is for things like watertables, layers, mining, etc - kind of like what you would use ESRI for on Windows.
Now that isn't what Mappoint does though, MapPoint is more for getting Business data on the Map. The best option available on the mac as a Mappoint replacement is the Badger Map. That is focused on putting all your customers on the map, building routes, doing Geographic Business intelligence, territory management for Salespeople etc. I use it on the iphone too.
I recommend going to -alternative.com/ - you can find a comprehensive list of replacements for Mappoint that are compatible with Mac there. It made my life a whole lot easier, especially now that Mappoint has been discontinued.
I just transferred to a company that forced a new laptop (a macbook) and new mapping software (Badger Maps) on me. While I took a while to get used to the Mac (still not sure how I feel about it), I did really like using Badger after coming from mappoint. It has all the same stuff (route optimizing, account mapping) that Mappoint had and other cool features like lead gen.
