Navision with offline map

bpweb123

Hi all, I currently have a city map in jpeg format.
I want each customer address to be mapped to it, so that on delivery I can print out this map and it will show direction to the customer place.

How do I implement this, is it too much of a work?
Can the map be in jpeg format or is there any special file format for mapping to work?

Is using Google map a better choice?
or is there offline google map for this due to connection issue?

Thanks in advance

Google map is much better. Because else you need to somehow map the address to ccoordinates, and than the coordinates to the picture coordinates, combine it, print it... not easy job. When using google maps, you just pass the address to the URL and your work is done...

Maybe you can use what they describe in http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2005/08/offline_google.html?

I don't think you can use offline maps easily.

I have tried it for my IPhone but these apps usually store a map picture in a SQLITE database and then use the coordinates to show the map. Street info are not stored locally so you can't search in such a way. I would either use an online maps provider like google maps or an offline one (maybe MS Autoroute?).

We use it like this..

two buttons one called "map location" to see a customer's location.
second "get directions" that maps from our location to the customer.
