SO-S-35 Route Planner Demo

Using a MS MapPoint service for route planning

Example

There are several mapping services available today, but they only provide point to point services.

Once such service is from Microsoft, which has a SOAP-based MapPoint service that allows location searching and distance calculations. The following demonstration uses the Microsoft MapPoint services to resolve addresses and to calculate the distance between two points. The demonstration will also calculate an optimized round-trip from a given start point to the destinations specified.

In order to run the demonstration a MapPoint username and password are needed. Evaluation accounts from Microsoft are available here.
