I have done this with MapBlast and xmlhttp in Access for driving directions. If I was going to do this, I would use MapPoint Web Service, don't know the cost per transaction. I would use the webservice for more uptodate directions, none of these methods seem to be accurate where road directions requires ferries or toll avoidance etc. You can write your own mappoint .net web service there is an SDK. There is reverse geocoding. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/nhp/default.asp?contentid=28001402 Arthur Fuller wrote: >Cross-posted... > >I've been reading about the MapPoint class hierarchy.
