does the streets & trips package ship with the same ActiveX control as mappoint ? also, is there some kind of timing delay built into Mappoint is generating directions due to competitive licensing restrictions ?

Eric Frost 06-23-2002, 07:59 AM Streets and trips includes some of the same technology, but the ActiveX control (ability to automate mapping) is not part of S&T.. The timing delay you mention is indeed a restriction on the software from the data vendors (specifically Navtech I believe, which must have allowed MS to license their data less expensively than they otherwise would have had to pay). There are hacks and work-arounds. See http://www.engo.com/gpsplus (http://www.engo.com/gpsplus) for starters. - Eric Anonymous 06-23-2002, 07:59 AM eric, i'm also having probles with this delay, and i'm very interested in the hacks and work arounds you mention. i couldn't find anything relevant at the site you gave, though. can you offer more help on this? tod | ||
