Data Import tool for MapPoint users
Visimation's GIS Data Import for Microsoft MapPoint utility enables GIS data to be viewed in MapPoint. Since MapPoint is considerably less costly than GIS systems, as well as much easier to use, MapPoint can provide the features that many users of geographic information need without the complexity and expense. Visimation's GIS Data Import for Microsoft MapPoint supports two of the most popular GIS file formats... ESRI ShapeFiles and MapInfo MIF file. After import, the lines and polygons from the GIS file will display in MapPoint. The Data Import utility's Shape Property Viewer is a floating window that will display any text information associated with the shapes in the original GIS file -see http://www.shapesource.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=140
