Is there a such thing as some map I can use on my computer to plot pins so to speak? Basically, i need to manage my salesman’s territories and follow their sales call trends, but i don’t really want to go buy a 8’ poster to plot pins on. I’d also like to send this map through email to my salesmen. any ideas? thanks, bill ---

Arcmap is what I use for school and used it during my internships. But I do not think you are going to spend the money to get this software from ESRI ---

i’m not opposed to spending the money if it’s going to help me do my job more efficiently. Managing 8 salesman and over 1000 potential customers statewide can be a bit overwhelming without the right tools ---
