This software calculates distances, travel times, and costs for routes in a database using MapPoint's route options. It supports Access, Excel, or ODBC and provides efficient point-to-point calculations.

Using Microsoft MapPoint, this software is capable of performing route calculations with all of MapPoint's features. You can choose from fastest routes, shortest routes, preferred roads, and straight lines (Great Circles), while also setting road speeds to your preference.
This tool supports all versions of MapPoint from 2002 to 2010. The database can be any version of Access or Excel v2003 onwards. Access or an ODBC database is recommended for speed.
ODBC support includes runtime login credentials and all three kinds of Data Source Names (DSNs): User DSNs, System DSNs, and File DSNs. It also supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
In addition, if you have a multi-core machine, you can run this software on a quad core (or better) for even faster speeds than conventional MapPoint batch calculation tools.
With a single license costing only US$75, this software is an excellent value. And if you're still undecided, there is a free 14-day trial available for you to test it out.
Version 1.6: Support for overnight stays and periodic rest stops in the travel time calculations. Minor GUI improvements.
Version 1.5: Greatly improved ODBC support: including runtime login credentials; and File DSNs
Version 1.4: Better support for 64 bit; resilience against corrupt registries; much more efficient shut-down process
