Free Beer!!! Ok, not really...Free SharePoint Mapper Account!

The free trial offer has ended.  Thank you everyone.

So I can't actually give everyone free beer, sorry, but I can give you the next best thing:
A free trail account to use the Pdoc Tech SharePoint Mapper using Bing Maps!!!  I know you are excited now!

The Mapper is in Beta, somewhat ready to use and still ready for some more refinement.  So I want to give everyone a chance to play on the hosted version and see how easy it is to build great Bing Maps that are hosted in the SharePoint Mapper.

How to get your free Mapper trial:

1. Either go to http://www.pdoctech.com/mapper and follow the links to subscribe or send me an email support@pdoctech.com.

Pretty simple.

Now remember, this is a free trial of a product in beta.  Feedback is encouraged, ask for help or guidance if you would like to try something or would like to know about extending the Mapper to accommodate custom functionality.

This offer is valid until it is no longer valid.

Trade Show Management on the Mapper

Trade Show Mapping on the SharePoint Bing Mapper

This webcast demonstrates an application added of the SharePoint Bing Mapper platform.  In this scenario I will demonstrate reserving spaces for a trade show on the mapper.

To keep the video moving I have omitted some detail as well as repetitive actions like switching users.

Points to remember:

1. Registering trade show participants is only a small part of what can be accomplished with this tool.  The map and data created can also be used for payment tracking, setup instructions for facilities and as a public map for attendees to navigate around the grounds.
2.  It is completely extensible.  The base configuration can be added to or taken away from.  If there are additional data points that need to be collected it is a simple matter of configuration.  In the event that a new feature is required but isn't available through configuration (such as data transfer to an external system) custom code can be added with minimal effort.
3. It is easily styled.  I know, shame on me for not taking the time to do some extra UI customization, but I only have so much time.  The application can be customized through the use of CSS and JQuery giving complete control over the look and feel.

Thanks for viewing!
