Microsoft MapPoint brings powerful and easy-to-use mapping features to your desktop. With address-to-address routing and street-level maps, getting to where you want to go is easier than ever. You can find addresses, landmarks, businesses, and even specific latitude and longitude coordinates.

Use these features to plan your trip or find your way:

  • Route planning to plan and get directions for trips with many stops

  • Nearby places to get information about stops along the way and find hotels, restaurants, and attractions nearby

  • Global Positioning System (GPS) support, so that you can use the data you create in MapPoint on your navigation device, including tracking so that you can use information you record on your device with the mapping features of MapPoint

  • Navigation to provide written and spoken driving instructions

  • Bing search and mapping services

  • Online content to get detailed, local, and up-to-date information about points of interest
