Many moons ago I attended the launch party for Office XP and got a copy of that and of MapPoint 2002. I started up a DB project which had everyones addresses in Access when I became a volunteer FF- so I extended it by adding in the MapPoint Control. Soon I had my own navigation system.

As nothing is never good enough, I expanded the DB to contain the hazardous materials kept at local facilities (eg acetylene at the local garage) and I extended the mapping portion to draw out evacuation zones if whatever was spilled

Now that everyone and their brother has access to online mapping and imagery, I have migrated to using SQL for the backend and I am using MS Virtual Earth for the display, to the point that I have a working version that will plot in 3D the plume released from a spill

The neat thing was that in the metro areas where there is 3D imagery available, you can have situations where the ground floor is in the evacuation area but the roof is safe
