Urgent - Territories, Postal Codes, Drill down and Graphs on MapPo   

Hi, 

I have requirement to show all the Territories (Custom Entity) and Postal 
Codes (Custom Entity) for every Territory on the MapPoint, so how this can be 
achieved?
Also all the Accounts within that Postal Code need to be shown on MapPoint 
itself with some information which has to be displayed with the pushpin of 
that Account like Name, Owner, Address etc.

Is it possible to drill down on these Accounts displayed on MapPoint? If I 
have all my Accounts displayed on MapPoint then clicking on any one of the 
Account I want to drill down to that particular Account’s information in CRM 
application.

One more thing, can anyone throw some light on whether graphs can be shown 
on MapPoint or not? Like if I have shown Postal Code on to the MapPoint and 
now within that Postal Code I have 10 Accounts, so is it possible to show 
information of these Accounts with the help of a graph near by that Postal 
Code on the MapPoint.

Please reply with appropriate information urgently.

Thanks in advance and help appreciated.

Bharat,

MWS doesn't inherently support displaying of polygon for territories.  
You'll need to upload your own polygon datasource using some third party 
data.  You might want to look into Virtual Earth as I know people have 
already successfully attempted this using VE (and its much easier to plot the 
data) for certain areas.  Start here if your interested in going VE:
