Outlook integration

[carteriii]

I believe two forms of Outlook integration would be appropriate (and consistent with the features already found in competing products)...

First, get rid of that silly 200-contact limit and allow Outlook contacts to be searched & selected directly from within Street Atlas (without any import/export). Bonus points will be provided for filtering by Outlook categories and using either a home or work address from Outlook.

Second, implement functionality similar to the "Display Map of Address" button that already exists within the standard Outlook toolbar for launching a browser with a URL for MapPoint to display. Instead of using a browser and MapPoint, use Street Atlas for the display.

I heartily "second" this suggestion. Love Street Atlas. At the suggestion of a friend, I even tried Microsoft once and found it very lacking compared to Street Atlas. I've been using Street Atlas for years. However every professional keeps their contacts in Outlook. Street Atlas only needs its own address book to help consumers who might not have Outlook. For those of us who are professionals with professional contact lists, the Street Atlas address book could completely disappear if Street Atlas simply leveraged the Outlook contacts list instead. Probably 99% of any addresses any professional adds to the Street Atlas address book is a duplicate of an addresses we already have in our Outlook contacts list.
