The CreatePinMap method creates a pin map. Pin map properties are edited through the returned PinMap object.
Syntax
object.CreatePinMap( DataFileName, DataTableName, LocatingMethod, CoordUnits, AppendImage, PIDCol, XCol, YCol, LabCol, VarCol, LocationFileName, LocTableName, LocIDCol, LocXCol, LocYCol, UnknownToUnprojectedLatLon )

Example
This example creates a pin map of selected US cities.
Sub Main
'Declare the variable that will reference the application
Dim mvapp As Object
'Creates an instance of the MapViewer Application object
' and assigns it to the variable named "mvapp"
Set mvapp = CreateObject("MapViewer.Application")
'Make MapViewer visible
mvapp.Visible = True
'Declare Plot as Object
Dim Plot As Object
'Create a new map window
Set Plot = mvapp.Documents.Add(mvDocPlot)
'Declare PinMap as object
Dim PinMap As Object
'Create a Pin Map
Set PinMap = Plot.CreatePinMap( DataFileName:=mvapp.ApplicationFolder + _
" Samples\Pin.dat", LocatingMethod:= mvPinLocCoordinates, PIDCol:=1, XCol:=3, _
YCol:=4, LabCol:=2)
End Sub
