What is MapPoint? 
Since 2000 organizations used Microsoft MapPoint for quick geographic insights. The tool had background maps for large parts of the world. Within the most countires, you were able to geocode addresses. The software and the maps had to be installed on a (network) harddrive.
People used MapPoint for quick geographic visualisations and analyses of their own Microsoft Acces or MS Excel data. In selected countries isoline routing was available as well. By the end of 2014, Microsoft stopped developing MapPoint.
