This is my problem: I have got an object Route, let's say from Milan to Rome. I have to control if a location is or not inside this route.
Is there a simple way to do this?
If this is not possible I have another question: is there a way to build a text file of coordinates that specifie a route?
Thank you,
Giacomo from Italy

This is the very simple way that solved my problem: I build a route in another function, and then I check if a location with coordinates (lat,lon) is inside that route with this code:

Dim min As Integer
Dim objMap As MapPointctl.Map
Dim objLoc As MapPointctl.Location
Me.MappointControl1.NewMap geoMapEurope
Set objMap = MappointControl1.ActiveMap
Set objLoc = objMap.GetLocation(lat, lon)
Set objroute = objMap.ActiveRoute
min = 1000

For Each Direction In objroute.Directions
If Direction.DistanceTo(objLoc) < min Then
min = Direction.DistanceTo(objLoc)
end if
Next

MsgBox "Distance: " + Str(min) + " km"

Hi,

Thank you for sharing. This is a very good idea. Only when there are very long autoroutes in the calculated route it can be a problem.
