I have 2 sets of data detailing locations. The first details the existing location, and the second a new proposed alternative. Is it possible for mappoint to produce drive time detail between such 'paired' push pins?

I can do this manually by going into route plannr, and then drawing a box around the 2 locations and adding the pushpins to the route, but can I do this automatically?

thnks in advance

There is no feature in the user interface that automates this, but it would be a trivial thing to program as a COM add-in. Check the MSDN Library for further information (http://msdn.microsoft.com/mappoint/).
