Another great technology story...at least I think so
I love the feeling when I do something new and/or innovative with a piece of technology.
So, I'm planning an event in Charleston, WV. I have a list of customers in WV, but I'm not that familiar with the geography. I don't know how far cities are from other cities.
The list I have is in Excel. I import that list into Microsoft MapPoint (the desktop version) and plot the addresses on a map of WV. Then, I instruct MapPoint that I want a visual of all of the customers within a 65 minute driving distance of Charleston.
I then export the list back to Excel and bang! I have the target list of customers for the event.
LOVE IT!!!
