Need to create a map with "pushpin points" using GISDK   Message List  
Reply Message #3967 of 4028 |
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.

I made a tiny bit of progress with this on my own. I created a new map (no points selected, just a map) of the US with Map Wizard. I looked at the layers and...

I'm pretty sure that you can solve the problem with Maptitude, but there is an alternative way by using Google Maps geocoding. I've done some time ago 15.000...
