Re: Routing should give you the direction

oRoute.Calculate

From that you should be able to pick up if your going North VS South or East VS West, etc.

Hope it helps.

I probably should have described it better.
I put my plotted pins on the map in an array. Then I just calculate the driving directions with the oRoute.Calculate method. Then the results from the oRoute.Calculate is easily put to a flex grid. It should provide the info you need to get the direction of travel.
