can esri maps for office handle linear referenced data

Question

I would like to add a custom location type.  ROUTE with FROM_MEASURE and TO_MEASURE (line data) or just ROUTE and FROM_MEASURE (points).  I would have a ROUTE layer that would be the "geocoder" that would contain ROUTE and TOTAL_DISTANCE for the route.  The spreadsheets would contain lines and points that have the route and measure info.  Is this supported?

None that I'm aware of. Please submit an enhancement request on the ArcGIS Ideas site.

Hope this helps

Got it, thanks.  Are there any plans tp support LRS?  This would greatly help transportation agencies and other linear asset organizations (e.g. WW).

Hi Jonathan,

Linear referencing functionality is not possible within ArcGIS Maps for Office - sorry.

Hope this helps,
