33Summary Of Microsoft Map 97
- Microsoft Map 97 is a tool that allows the user
to analyze data that have a geographic component.
Microsoft Map 97 has several major limitations,
though. It does not allow more than 16 different
colors, although Value Shading maps show
various shades of a color. It does not have
separate maps for Asia or for most of Africa.
When a map is revised it sometimes loses data
this can be a major problem and is something the
user needs to check during revisions and when
copying a map. Microsoft has released Microsoft
MapPoint 2001, a truly awesome mapping and
geographic information system (GIS) package, as
part of their Microsoft Office Suite of
productivity software. However, where Microsoft
Map 97 is free with Microsoft Windows/Microsoft
Excel, Microsoft MapPoint 2001 is sold as a
separate software package. A free 60-day trial
version of Microsoft MapPoint 2001 is available
from Microsoft.
