Hi All

Is it possible to get the address from -
loc.Waypoints.Item(1).Name
and place it into MapPoint.Location property

Thanks in advance for any advice

Not sure what you are trying to do but a Waypoints.Item has a location property

Still stuck here, probably missing somthing very simple but here goes.

Dim loc As MapPointCtl.Route
loc.Waypoints.Item(1).Name ' returns the waypoint name correctly

but how do I get/convert the full address from - loc.Waypoints.Item(1).Location etc

Thanks in advance for any advice.

What are you trying to do with the location object? What is the desired end result?

Hi John

I want to put the address of the waypoint, street, city etc in the address fields of a new job.
waypoint 1 being start of job
waypoint 2 being end of job

The location object has a streetaddress property IF the location represents an address. See the help file: Objects | Location Object | Streetaddress
StreetAddress property
Returns the StreetAddress object for the specified location. Returns "Nothing" if the location does not represent an address. Read-only.

Applies to
Objects: Location

There is an article that describes how to search for the nearest address from a point. You could use this if your waypoint does not have an address.
