title: Mappoint Routing Solution
body: <p>I'm working on updating an in-house routing solution that has been working well for some time.  However a change in requirements is causing some problems.  While googling, I came across a Microsoft product called MapPoint 2010.</p>
  
  <p>From what I've read this product has an API that can be used from .net (c#).  At present we use Google Maps to geocode the address and start locations of our engineers.  I would like to be able pass this data to MapPoint, tag each job location as first call, am call or pm call, tag each engineer with a max allocation and ask MapPoint to allocate jobs to engineers.  Once this completes, extract the data and pass it back to our SQL database.  Is this something MapPoint can do?</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone experience of using MapPoint for this type of requirement?</p>
