MS Map Point plugin for Navision

US_NAV_USER

Hello,

I found a plugin over in the Downloads section for adding mapping features to a Customer Card. Does anyone know if it will work with MS Streets and Trips, which is essentially the consumer version of Map Point?

There is native support for MapPoint services, but just for the on-line services. But still there is Automation interface to MapPoint which you can use.

kine,

Thanks for the feedback. I understand the options for Map Point. What I was trying to determine was whether or not Streets and Trips can be used in place of Map Point? In other words if I have S & T installed will Navision use that to pull up a map or will it error and tell me that Map Point is not installed?

What I saw was just integration with the web service which is not depedning on what you have installed.

I had a Streets and Trips installed for a while, but I didn't look at possibility to connect them with NAV (they are including just US and thus they are unusable in Europe ;-))

just to throw it out there you can also use google maps

therefore no extra installation is required

Example: add a command button on the customer card
on the c/al code add

"Map Location"
OnPush()
HYPERLINK('http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=' +Address+' '+"Address 2"+' '+"ZIP Code"+' '+City);

Or Add another Button just change the (start info) to your start info..no with no parenthasis.

"Get Directions"
OnPush()
HYPERLINK('http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=(Your start Street)+(Your Start Zip)+(Your Start City)&daddr='
+Address+' '+"Address 2"+' '+"ZIP Code"+' '+City);

Thanks Harry! That may be the easiest way to go.

Good Luck,
works like a charm too
plus Google auto updates itself
no extra installation needed except for Internet access.

sorry MS 8-[

hmm. I guess it works just as well with
Live Search Maps Too
