Third party applications (SWRemote, Vettro, etc.) may request point-to-point directions from the SuccessWare21 SWHttp Server (SWAPI). For ASP users, SWAPI uses Microsoft's MapPoint Web Service for obtaining driving directions. LAN users have the option to configure SWAPI to use either the MapPoint Web Service or an installed copy of MapPoint software on their server.
· Disabled - This will turn off the ability for Third-Party applications to access MapPoint.
· Use Local Application - This will turn on the ability for Third-Party applications to access point-to-point directions using a local installation of the MapPoint application. If you choose this option, you will be prompted with a dialog box informing you of possible additional licensing requirements, and asking you to acknowledge. You are responsible for meeting any licensing requirements for the MapPoint Application as required by Microsoft's End-User License Agreement.
· Use Web Service- This will turn on the ability for Third-Party applications to access point-to-point directions using Microsoft's MapPoint Web Service. If you choose this option, you will need to enter your account information for the MapPoint Web Service. You, or your third party application provider, are responsible for obtaining a MapPoint Web Service Account and paying all associated fees. Please contact your third party application provider for information, or visit Microsoft's MapPoint Web Service Website for details.
SWAPI on the ASP automatically uses the Web Service option.
Configure your MapPoint selection using the SWHttp Service Admin tool.

If you are using the Microsoft MapPoint web service, you must first obtain a web service account from Microsoft. Your third party application provider may offer to provide an account for you. Contact your third party application provider for information.
