Microsoft survey: What features do you want in future versions of MapPoint?

The team working on mapping products at Microsoft spends much more time and effort on the online products. The software that comes to a store near you on a DVD gets considerably less of their attention. That is why I always get excited when I read about them doing something about MapPoint or Streets & Trips.:clap:

Chris Pendleton, Virtual Earth Tech Evangelist, writes: "Do you want to see a new version of MapPoint? If so, do you want to determine what features go in and what features get out? Do you love MapPoint and just want more, more, more? Do you post threads on Channel 9 spitting on MapPoint because you think “it sucks,” but don’t really provide details so your ranting turns out to be worth nothing but a good chuckle? Well, here’s your chance!"


Another interesting question in the survey was regarding downloadable, reasonably priced, map data updates. Would you be interested? Would you sign up for a quarterly update? A semi-annual update?

A feature that makes it into Microsoft MapPoint has a very good chance of appearing in Microsoft Streets & Trips, too.
