CDXZipStream can create radius, drive time, route and location maps using Microsoft MapPoint. Using MapPoint in the background, you can directly insert Maps in an Excel worksheet using the right-click functions. This feature is in addition to the CDXZipCode functions that insert hyperlinks to MapQuest and Google maps.

The maps are "snapshot" files and cannot be directly edited.
