From the very little I have seen online of MapPoint, it doesn't seem to allow
me to be able to pull up something similar to Google Earth's "Street View".
I am needing to be able to pull up some way to check out how well the
neighborhood takes care of their yard and whatnot before I drive somewhere to
look at in person. Obviously I won't be looking at every address, just the
ones I filter out as not being near many other addresses in my database.
