Can Crystal map latitude and longitude coordinates from GPS tools? The first time I created a map in Crystal, a dialog box instructed me to insert my disk to load the dlls so it could generate a map. I was hoping there would be tools loaded that could use lat and long data for mapping. I can do maps based on Citys, States and zip codes with no problem in Crystal. Is there a way to use GPS coordinates? I have a copy of Microsoft MapPoint 2004 which I have to use to see where the coordinates are. My MS SQL database has lat and long fields to track assets and I would like to generate maps right in Crystal instead of exporting columns of lat and long values and then inputting them into MapPoint2004.
 
Thanks for helping!

That's a great question. Unfortunately, I haven't seen how to do it. Maybe someone else has some ideas? Also, the full blown mapping product (the up-sell) might have it as a feature. You could check the companies website if you had the budget to purchase it.
