MS Access Forum / ActiveX Controls / September 2003Map Plotting Control
We are looking for a control that will allow us to display a map anywhere in the world and place pictures at coordinates (longitude & latitude) and then dynamically update the pictures location as the coordinates change. There will be several graphics overlayed onto the map background. It appears that MapPoint may allow us to do this. Are there any recommendations as to which control we should use? Thx, Kyle >We are looking for a control that will allow us to display a map anywhere in >the world and place pictures at coordinates (longitude & latitude) and then [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >It appears that MapPoint may allow us to do this. Are there any >recommendations as to which control we should use? MapPoint would do fine for North America while its counterpoint AutoRoute would work for Europe. However how good a job it would do for the world is another matter. I'd suggest asking in the MapPoint newsgroup as they would have a better idea.

Note that many ActiveX controls do not work inside MS Access unless the vendor specifically states that they do support Access. In which case they will likely also have sample code on their website.
