MPSuperShape can be used to combine multiple shapes into one large shape, find the overlaps between shapes, and import/export shape files.

Import shape options include ESRI Shape (SHP) files, MapInfo MIF files, and GML.

MPSuperShape can also export to GML.Possible applications include:* Combining drive-time areas to find the total area covered by existing depots.* Finding territory overlaps.* Finding areas which meet multiple characteristics.* Transferring shapes to/from other GIS systems.MPSuperShape provides the following benefits:* Combine multiple shapes* Find the intersection (overlap) between shapes* Import shapes from external (non-MapPoint) files* Export shapes to external (non-MapPoint) files* Copy shapes between different MapPoint maps - reuse the same shapes on multiple maps!The import and export options support GML.

GML is an XML-based open GIS format that is managed by the Open Geospatial Consortium.

Requirements: MapPoint 2006 (or later), .NET Framework 2.0 (or later), and Windows XP or Vista required.
