Q: I loved ACT! 5.0. So much so, I upgraded to ACT! 2006.  I haven’t had enough time to explore all its features but I heard there is a mapping feature that will bring up a map for a contact.  How do you use it?

A: ACT! is a great program to help you track your contacts, especially if you are in Sales or Marketing and have several to keep track of.  Starting with ACT! 2005, Best Software included a handy feature called Display Map.  This feature will pull up a map for the Contact you are currently viewing using a Mapquest map.  This is all you need to do to use it:

In ACT (ACT! 2005 or newer)

1. Find a Contact you need in your ACT! database using the Look-up, then

2. Contacts > Display Map... (by 'Contacts' I mean the Contacts drop-down menu between Lookup & Groups)

-That's it!
