From: Philip Herlihy on 14 Dec 2009 07:25 MapPoint can do this. http://www.microsoft.com/mappoint/en-us/default.aspx There's a free trial, so you could impress your boss enough to get him to pay for a license (about £250, new version out at the end of this month). Autoroute will do something similar - if you're in the US the equivalent is called something like "Streets and Trips". Autoroute was discontinued after 2007.
