Default Microsoft Map program for Marketing

Hello,
A few years ago I saw a Map program (From Microsoft, I think) that was designed for businesses. Their examples/screenshots were for a pizza company that put the addresses of all their customers on this program and it calculated, colored and graphed the most dense areas. This is great for seeing where to target your marketing.
I looked around a bit, and could not find that program. Maybe I am searching under the wrong query or it no longer exists. Does anyone on the form remember the name of this program or know of a subsitute?

Thanks,

Ignore the last post, I found the program. For others who would like to know, the program is called: Microsoft Mappoint

Never heard of mappoint till now. Mappoint web service is free for 45 days. Looks like we can have a "find a store" feature in our website. It's much better than mapquest. the load time is excellent. I will use mappoint instead of mapquest in the furture for driving direction, thanks.

My website using mapquest web service now, it doesn't show the hightlighted route from start to end. Just zoom picture for start and end plus 1 picture of whole map. Also, the text driving direction.

Mapblast and Mapquest for me have both been very unreliable for driving directions as it tells me to take roads that do not exist. For example, for directions home, it tells me to take a street that doesn't exist. It was suppose to have been built, but they decided not to go through with it.

I also find Mappoint to have more useful information and to be more reliable.
