MapPoint or Streets and trips exports the map but not the route information when you try to export a route to a Pocket PC
This article was previously published under Q319241
When you try to export a route from Microsoft MapPoint or from Microsoft Streets
& Trips to a Pocket PC, the program exports the map but not the route
information.
To work around this problem, save the route as a Web page,
and then export that Web page to the Pocket PC. To do this, follow these steps.
Part 1: Save the map and route information as a Web page
- In MapPoint or in Streets & Trips, open or create the
route that you want to export.
- On the map, zoom in or out so that the whole route appears
on the screen.
Note The exported version will contain only the portion of the map
that appears on the screen in MapPoint or Streets & Trips. The exported
version will also contain any pushpins in the visible area. - On the File menu, click Save as
Web Page.
- In the Title box, type an appropriate name
for the route.
- Click the Browse button next to the
Save as File name box, locate the Pocket_PC My
Documents folder, and then click Save.
- Click OK.
An .htm file and a
folder of the same name are automatically saved. - Quit MapPoint or Streets & Trips.
Part 2: Export the map to the Pocket PC
- Establish a connection between your desktop computer and
the Pocket PC.
- Use ActiveSync to copy the map and folder from your desktop
computer to the My Documents folder on your Pocket PC.
Note If you saved the file in the Pocket_PC My Documents folder in
part 1, step 5, and have ActiveSync configured to synchronize files, the map is
automatically exported to the Pocket PC. - When the synchronization process is complete, remove the
Pocket PC from the cradle.
- On the Pocket PC, tap Start, point to
Programs, and then tap File
Explorer.
The My Documents folder opens. - Tap the .htm file of the route that you exported.
Internet Explorer for the Pocket PC opens, and you can now view the map and the
route information on the Web page in Internet Explorer.
Note If the map fits the screen, it may be too small to be of
practical help. To make the map larger, tap to clear the
Fit to
Screen check box on the
View menu. In this view, you
must scroll to see the whole map.
For versatility, you may want to view the map as a Web page
to see the route information and then switch to Pocket Streets to view a larger
map and to use the program's functionality (such as locating addresses,
intersections, and points of interest).

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
