Hi!!!!

I have an array of location objects, and I want to do something like a route with those locations(those locations must be exacts). I achieved to do it with a polyline, but I don´t know if it´s possible do it using an object route adding waypoints. If it were possible, could you tell me how to draw this route.

Thanks to all.

You can create a route using your locations as waypoints.

The Route object and waypoint container are described in the documentation that comes with MapPoint. Look under the object model reference in the programming help. There are also some other pages in the help that show you how to use the different parts.

The concept is very similar to a polyline. Once you add the waypoints, you then call a method in the route to "find the best route". There are also options to set road speeds, etc.

Thanks Richard for your response.

Please, could you be a little more specific?. I was looking for in the Mappoint object models, and the only method that I have seen to draw the route is objroute.calculate, but it draw only the best route between the start and final points and not consider the intermediate waypoints that I have to respect.

Thanks.

I have the 2004 Help up infront of me.

Go to "Programming Information".
Select "Working with the MapPoint Object Model"
Select "About routing in the MapPoint object model"

This page has three expandable sections entitled:
"Modifying the waypoints in a route" (what you want)
"Modifying the route in other ways"
"Getting driving directions"

Thanks you very much for your response. It has been very useful to me.

I imported pinpoints using datasets
Now I want to out the pushpins in a route

Can anyone please tell me how to do that

Use the Add method. The Pushpins will be your Anchors. With this terminology in mind, see the help file.
