How can I make maps for weddings?

[Guest]

I am trying to make a map for driving directions from the church to the
reception. I can't find a template in anything so if anyone can help me out
that would be great.

You're asking in the wrong place. Microsoft Access (the subject of
this newsgroup) is a database application, and has nothing to do with
maps (or templates either).

All of the public mapping websites - MapQuest, Google Maps, etc. - let
you zoom in and print out maps.

Visio includes shapes for directional maps.

If you are wanting to make a database driven map that works with Microsoft
Access, you might want to look at one of the more inexpensive GIS
applications. You could use Microsoft MapPoint. There is a 60 day trial
version so that you could see if this would be a workable solution for you.

Various third parties make geographic and mapping software. If, as is not
clear to us, you want packages that can be used with Microsoft Access, there
are two from Microsoft -- Streets and Trips, or MapPoint. Both can also be
used "standalone."

If that's not what you want, then I suggest continuing to post in this
thread is wasting your time, and that you Google to find mapping or georef
or similarly-named-software, and perhaps that will lead you to appropriate
newsgroups.
