I'm new to Maptitude and to this group. I have what should be a fairly simple
task for Maptitude: given a list of addresses, mark the points on a map
(preferrably with labels) and save to a JPG file. I've looked at the
documentation, I tried the "LocateView" sample (which gave me fits at first, but
finally got it to work), so I have a very basic sense of what to do. But the
all-important details are eluding me.
For example, the LocateView sample uses "HartFordMaps.cdf". That's great if all
your points are in Hartford. But I need to map points anywhere in the U.S. I
assumed there was some kind of "US Streets.CDF" but I can't find one. I tried
supplying a the US Map, and got an error.
It seems like this should be a LOT easier than it is. I've been programming most
of my life, and can figure out most things on my own--but this is just too
foreign (GIS is not my forte) and too sparsely documented for me to get a grip
on.
I can't be the first person doing this relatively simple and common task. Can
anyone point me to a script that does this? Or at least give me some handle on
how to approach it?
Thanks.
