I'm looking for mapping/postcode plotting software

[Andrew_Rossington]

Hello. I would be very greatful if someone could point me in the right direction.

At work we currently use AFD's Postcode Plotter (we have a database of centres throughout the country, and sometimes need to find the closest one to a specific postcode) however I was wondering if anyone knew of anything else along the lines of Google Maps that could be integrated with an our access database to produce the same solution... but cheaper!

Many thanks for any help you can give.

(I'll post this in the Access questions thread in case it's in the wrong place)

Hi Andrew,
MapInfo can hook up to Access.

I've no idea about the price though.

Thank you. I'll investigate these options.
