There aren't any bug fixes or updates besides the construction updates.. Start at Help | About | Tech Support, I think if you tell them you want to confirm or report a bug they will not charge you or at least will tell you where to go to report it.. You might also try mswish@microsoft.com Eric

Tried that - the search for "report a bug" pushed me towards sendinf feedback on the maps. Presumably more commonly used for misspelt names etc. I tried this and have heard nothing - not even an automated "thank you". Probably better that mswish@microsoft.com would be ski_uphill@microsoft.com or straight_in_the_bin@microsoft.com. Anyway of a) finding out if this is an acknowledged bug b) if it's fixed in 2004. No point upgrading if they can't fix the problems that currently exist. |

It seems I'm not alone in noticing it - have found a few references in the forum. The location of directions in a route are only correct when there is simply a start and end point. Add a waypoint and the locations of the directions after the waypoint are all over the shop. It also seems to only be the case when going south - north. This applies to the COM object interface when doing an add-in. Only work around suggested by someone from the forum (memory terrible but he will know who he is) is that you make a copy of the waypoints into memory. And then basically recreate the route using only start & end points between the various original wayponts iteratively and thus derive the required overall set of direction locations that way (not sure that I have explained that too well, but here's hoping). Any more enlightened ideas, please post. Thanks |
