Note   Previous versions of MapPoint included two directions for roundabouts: geoActionEnterRoundabout (value 11) and geoActionExitRoundabout (value 12). Starting in MapPoint 2010, 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
