RouteWriter exports MapPoint route waypoints to Excel in their route order. Waypoints can be cross-referenced with pushpins, allowing the pushpin information to be also exported. It allows you to create MapPoint routes from pushpins using a pre-determined order. This order is specified using one of the pushpin data fields - typically a sequence number imported from Excel or Access.

Benefits include:
* Export route pushpins to Excel.
* Export pushpins to a text file - Excel not required!
* Maintain the route order for the waypoints / pushpins.
* Output all available data for each pushpin.
* Output addresses and/or coordinates for each pushpin.
* Output rest breaks.
* Create a route from pushpins in a pre-determined order.
* No need to upgrade from 2002: Works with all versions of Microsoft MapPoint from 2002 to 2009.

Additional features, include:
* Ability to output waypoint distance and/or times.
* Ability to batch over-ride all waypoint stop times.
* Ability to output the optimum waypoint order, instead of the current one.
* Supports datasets with pushpins that have duplicate names.
* Route import can sort pushpins according to numeric or text fields.
* Route import supports both ascending and descending pushpin sorts.
* Walk-through tutorials.
* Supports all geographic editions of MapPoint.
* Works with the latest MapPoint 2009.
* Windows Vista, XP and 2000 are all supported.

RouteWriter is designed to export a route's waypoints to Excel or a text file. Typically, a route is created from pushpins. After an optimum route has been found, it is often necessary to have a list of the waypoints with their estimated times and associated pushpin data.
MapPoint allows you to export the pushpins to Excel, but it does not take the route into account. Ie. the pushpins are sorted in an arbitrary and meaningless manner.

RouteWriter solves this problem, by exporting the waypoints and any associated pushpins. The route order is maintained, and associated information (eg. distances and estimated travel times) can also be written.
This is what RouteWriter looks like when it is started. This particular example has been set to write the distances, times, coordinates, and pushpin data for each and every waypoint.
Other options that are not used here, include route optimization, rest stops, and street addresses. Stop times can also be over-ridden if necessary.
