Note Previous versions of MapPoint included two directions for roundabouts: geoActionEnterRoundabout (value 11) and geoActionExitRoundabout (value 12). In MapPoint 2006, however, value 11 has changed to geoActionRoundabout and value 12 has been reassigned to geoActionConstructionDelay.
Example
Sub GetDirectionAction()
Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application
Dim objMap As MapPoint.Map
Dim objRoute As MapPoint.Route
'Set up the application
Set objMap = objApp.ActiveMap
Set objRoute = objMap.ActiveRoute
objApp.Visible = True
objApp.UserControl = True
'Add waypoints and calculate the route
objRoute.Waypoints.Add objMap.FindResults("Seattle, WA").Item(1)
objRoute.Waypoints.Add objMap.FindResults("Redmond, WA").Item(1)
objRoute.Calculate
'Get the action for the first direction
MsgBox "The first direction is action type: " + _
CStr(objRoute.Directions.Item(1).Action)
End Sub
