Hi,
as far as I could gather, there is no way to use GPS/Voice Guidance when using the control in a custom application. So I tried alternatives and am at my last techincal challenge. I have been able to capture GPS data, parse it and display the current location of GPS on the map. Now after I calculate my directions, the Directions collection has all the information for the route.
I also wrote a small function to speak the direction, once a Direction object is passed to it. now to the challenge I am facing:

How do I know that I have travelled a given Direction (object) and moved to Direction+Next while GPS is on. If somehow I can calculate or query MP object that I am transitioning to the next Direction object, I can trigger the Voice to speak the new direction. Hope someone has a good idea as how to go about this.

Once this problem is solved, I can wrap up my project.
thanks in advance,
Phirki

No one? Anyone?

thanks,

Hi,

I think each direction object has a Location property with the coordinates in it. I think that way you can check if the vehicle has moved trough it.
