MPSuperShape 1.4

MPSuperShape is a shape manipulation tool for Microsoft MapPoint. MPSuperShape can be used to combine multiple shapes into one large shape, find the intersections (overlaps) between shapes, import/export shape files, and to create web pages.

Import shape options include ESRI Shape (SHP) files, MapInfo MIF files, Keyhole (KML), and GML. MPSuperShape can also export to GML; KML; and webpages that use Google Maps or Microsoft Virtual Earth (`Live Local`).

Possible applications include:

* Combining drive-time areas to find the total area covered by existing depots.

* Finding territory overlaps.
* Finding areas which meet multiple characteristics.
* Transferring shapes to/from other GIS systems.
* Create webpages from MapPoint shapes and pushpins

MPSuperShape provides the following benefits:

* Combine multiple shapes
* Find the intersection (overlap) between shapes
* Import shapes from external (non-MapPoint) files
* Export shapes to external (non-MapPoint) files
* Create webpages that use Virtual Earth or Google Maps to display MapPoint pushpins and/or shapes.
* Copy shapes between different MapPoint maps - reuse the same shapes on multiple maps!

The import and export options support GML and KML. GML is an XML-based open GIS format that is managed by the Open Geospatial Consortium. KML (`Keyhole Markup`) is the XML language for Google Earth, but it is also supported by Google Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth.

Requirements: MapPoint 2006 (or later), .NET Framework 2.0 (or later), and Windows XP or Vista required.
