How to get a PlaceCategory Name?

Hi,

I did a FindNearBy with an ActiveRoute Object. I can read all the POIs near the Route, but I don't know how to get the PlaceCategory corresponding to each Point Of Interest? I did some tests with no success like :

- ObjFindResults.PlaceCategory.Name
- ObjFindResults.item(1).PlaceCategory.Name
- I do a loop with the ObjMap.Placecategories.count

So I've tried a lot of things and lost 2 hours without success :oops:

Any help, please?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Ok, I found the solution this morning.

I had to get the Object location for each POI's.

Something like this:

ObjFindResults comes from a FindNearBy reseach.

NbFindResults = ObjFindResults.Count

FOR i = 1 to NbFindResults
ObjLoc = ObjFindResults.item(i).Location
IF ObjLoc.PlaceCategory != Null THEN
Message(ObjLoc.PlaceCategory.Name , ObjFindResults.item(i).Name )
ENDIF
Next i

This works very well and I begin enjoying MapPoint more and more.

I've seen in some post that we can upgrade MapPoint maps with Autoroute 2005,
somebody had tested that?


Many thanks for the moderators.
