Need mapping software to track US member locations

[PaperQueen]

I know there's got to be something out there that does this, but the minute you add "mapping" to a Google search, well...everything under the sun pops up.

I run a national association that includes "territory protection" for paid members. Given the number of members, it's quickly becoming a nightmare to track without some kind of easy visual to refer to (think: a US map with push pins on the location of each member).

I ran across Knapsack (from tinyplanetsoftware.com), but that's a lot more than I need--the entire world, ability to track travel itineraries, etc. is overkill for my purpose.

Anyone have a suggestion or two? I'm running 10.5.3 (and lovin' it).

Thanks in advance!

I'm one of the four founders of TinyPlanet Software, LLC and we created Knapsack. I realize Knapsack may do a lot more than you need for this project, but feel free to give it a try; there's a 30-day demo with no restrictions available on our website.

As for another suggestion, have you considered using Google "MyMaps?" You can create a map on Google Maps, add your own pins, add information to the pop-up postcards for those pins, etc. I think might be exactly what you're looking for. We used a Google MyMap to show where our customers reside: http://tinyurl.com/4mme7b

I hope that helps!

Good Luck!

You must be reading my mind, Brad. I downloaded the program last night to test run, and immediately recognized my need for more cities and municipalities shown that Knapsack offers. Still...it's a great program for travel. Good job.

Just tripped over that option about five minutes after testing out Knapsack. Seriously...are you reading over my shoulder?

Until then, didn't even notice the "My Maps" option. And yes, it's perfect. Plugged in a bunch of our members last night, with more to go today.

Thanks for the suggestions nonetheless. I'm spreading the word about Knapsack to friends who frequently hit the road.
