Calculate Mileage Charts and Tables with Microsoft MapPoint.
Calculate tables for serving customers and suppliers, or to create "road atlas" tables.
Can output route distances, travel times and/or estimated costs to Excel Spreadsheets.
Supports ALL MapPoint routing options including fastest/shortest/preferred-roads/straight-line routes, road speeds, road preferences, and avoid polygons. Supports both the North American and European editions of MapPoint (versions: 2002, 2004,2006,2009). With the ability to batch process thousands of routes, large mileage charts become practical compared to manual calculations.
Requires MS Windows 7, XP, or Vista. Also requires Excel.
New "closest only" option allows the closest destinations to be sorted and quickly found. For example, this could be used to find the closest service locations to specific customers.
The rate table feature allows sophisticated route cost calculations. "Per mile" rates can be defined for specific distance intervals, or a fixed cost assigned to an interval (eg. for delivery charges).
The new pause/restart function allows very large processing runs to be restarted the next day.
Supports the extra large spreadsheets of Excel 2007. Earlier versions have a limit of 256 columns. When using these earlier versions, MileCharter can span large charts across multiple tables.
Virtually all features are provided in the Basic License for US$60. The Professional License (US$100) adds the "Report Closest Only", and Pause/Restart features. The free 14 day trial includes use of all of these features.

Pros: You can use the application for calculating mileage charts for locations of interest. These can be customer locations, supplier location and so on.

You can output route distances, travel times, estimated costs etc can be output to Excel sheet. These can be very large spread sheets and thus no real limitation as to how many points you use to calculate the tables. The options available in MapPoint of finding routes based on fastest route, straight line routes, road speeds, road preferences etc available in MapPoint. It uses 2002, 2004, 2006, 2009 versions of both the European and American editions. The application can calculate very large batches of thousands of routes quite easily. Windows 2000, XP or the Vista is the platform on which this application works.
"Closest only" option lets you sort and find the closest destination easily. If you need to find the closet service location for a specific customer this will be the approach. For deriving a cost table you could assign a per mile cost or a fixed cost for a distance interval. Pause/restart function allows very large processing runs to be stopped and restarted. So calculating a cost schedule for hundreds or even thousands of your customers is not a problem at all. It works as a plug-in and MapPoint MileCharter has a simple, easy-to-use interface allowing easy selection of start and finish locations, as well as formatting and other options.

Overall this is definitely a 4 star item.
