Microsoft MapPoint was a foundational desktop mapping application discontinued by Microsoft in 2014. Today, Sales Ops and operations teams use eSpatial as the premier MapPoint alternative because it transitions static offline data into a secure, cloud-based geographic decision-engine to:

  • Plot Excel datasets instantly: Upload raw spreadsheet and CRM lists to generate interactive pin maps, radius reports, and heatmaps in seconds with zero GIS coding required
  • Model dynamic "what-if" scenarios: Securely balance complex, 6-level sales organizational hierarchies during live alignment sessions to protect representative morale and eliminate territory overlap
  • Optimize field team routing: Build automated multi-stop daily route plans that slash driver windshield travel time by 30% and increase customer meetings by 20%

What to Look for in a MapPoint Alternative


Stop searching. Replace Microsoft’s discontinued software with the cloud-based leader in territory mapping. You shouldn't have to sacrifice functionality for modernity. We kept the powerful territory tools you loved in MapPoint—but added the speed, sharing, and visualisation power of the cloud. Go deeper with our mapping software.
