Map Point and Mac

[scott-pwfb]

I use a vehicle tracking system that displays maps and they recently
switched to Microsoft MapPoint to display maps.

The problem is that NONE of the web browsers (Safari, Firefox, Camino,
Opera, etc.) on my Mac will display the maps.

The vendor is catering to Windoze users and won't make any changes on
their end.

Is there anything I can do on my end to display these maps?

I'd suggest running MapPoint and/or Internet Explorer under CrossOver
Mac from <http://www.codeweavers.com> or Parallels
<http://www.parallels.com>.

Not only will you have compatibility but you'll also be supported by the
vendor.

Of course, if the system was working fine before the vendor changed then
you can also threaten to move your business to another vendor unless he
continues to support your needs.

Hope this helps!
