Hi Ed et al,

The software did all the work, hi.

Do you (or anyone else) would make the time to add Lat-Long fields to
the SECC database? It would improve the placements of the pushpins.

Twenty-four of the 142 or so records required manual intervention, i.e.,
MapPoint could not locate the address on the map. Those were the
pushpins that were defined by their zip code. Most of the towns were
small so the actual error will be minimal...but may just place a pushpin
out of the circle.

I just want to know if someone could add the lat-long data without too
much effort to the database. If someone can do it, I will test mapping
by lat-long. The book says it could but I gotta see it before I believe
it, hi.
