I have not been able to find a suitable replacement. ESRI calimed that they faced competition from online mapping and that Business Analyist Online BAO was the fix, but it doesn't do the same things as BusinessMap. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have my BA in Geography/GIS and I am really familiar with ArcGIS Desktop, which is really robust, but it is not tailored to Small Business users, not to mention it cost over four times more than BusinessMap. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I work for a small business and I need a direct replacement for BusinessMap. I found a tread about replacing BusinessMap with MapPoint at </SPAN><A href="http://www.mapforums.com/finding-replacement-esri-businessmap-14987.html">http://www.mapforums.com/finding-replacement-esri-businessmap-14987.html</A><SPAN>, but MapPoint doesn' t do what BusinessMap did either.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Google Maps and Bing Maps are great too, but they don't work offline.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I want a single solution with the following features: </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- ability to have Regions and Sub-Regions</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- ability to turn on and off at least 50 layers</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- ability to draw layers from X, Y data or plot North American Street Addresses</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- return Lats and Longs for previously plotted addresses, and export them in.csv format</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- ability to do routing without being connected to the internet</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- polygonal demographics to at least the 5 digit zipcode, but census block would be nice</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- polygon boundaries to the census block, including sub-administrative boundaries for Mexico and Canada, (I.E FSAs in Canada)</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- basic world map with first order administrative boundaries (like Canadian Provinces), commercial airports and major cities.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If anyone has any advice about a multi-layered Software approach, please let me know.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 17 Jan 2011 13:54:34 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/business-questions/replacement-for-businessmap/m-p/31471#M416 JohnNowlin 2011-01-17T13:54:34Z Re: Replacement for BusinessMap https://community.esri.com/t5/business-questions/replacement-for-businessmap/m-p/31472#M417 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Here is a really good article that explains the reasons that ESRI terminated BusinessMap.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><A href="http://www.directionsmag.com/articles/interview-bill-mcneil-former-manager-of-esris-businessmap-group/122442">http://www.directionsmag.com/articles/interview-bill-mcneil-former-manager-of-esris-businessmap-group/122442</A><BR /><BR /><SPAN>. . . in case anyone was interested. ..</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:37:14 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/business-questions/replacement-for-businessmap/m-p/31472#M417 JohnNowlin 2011-01-17T20:37:14Z Re: Replacement for BusinessMap https://community.esri.com/t5/business-questions/replacement-for-businessmap/m-p/31473#M418 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>The guy who developed BusinessMap is now on his own and he is making a new web based service at </SPAN><A href="http://www.texmobile.com/">http://www.texmobile.com/</A><SPAN>.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Anyone hear of this service?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:55:05 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/business-questions/replacement-for-businessmap/m-p/31473#M418 JohnNowlin 2011-01-17T20:55:05Z Re: Replacement for BusinessMap https://community.esri.com/t5/business-questions/replacement-for-businessmap/m-p/31474#M419 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Here is a great article that compares BusinessMap with similar/alternative software products.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><A href="http://www.caliper.com/PDFs/Online-Mapping%20Solutions.pdf">http://www.caliper.com/PDFs/Online-Mapping%20Solutions.pdf</A></BODY></HTML> Thu, 08 May 2014 14:34:45 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/business-questions/replacement-for-businessmap/m-p/31474#M419 StewartBerry 2014-05-08T14:34:45Z
