Article
02/25/2011

Calculates a route based on two or more waypoints (stops) and generates driving directions; similar to clicking Get Directions in the Route Planner pane.

Applies to

Objects: Route

Syntax

object.Calculate

Parameters

Part	Description
object	Required. An expression that returns a Route object.

Remarks

To add a waypoint, use the Add method on a Waypoints collection.
The Directions collection cannot be accessed until after the Calculate method is performed.
To capture when a route has been calculated, use the RouteAfterCalculate event of the Map or MappointControl object.

Example

Sub CalculateARoute()

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 route stops and calculate the route
objRoute.Waypoints.Add objMap.FindResults("Seattle, WA").Item(1)
objRoute.Waypoints.Add objMap.FindResults("Redmond, WA").Item(1)
objRoute.Calculate

End Sub
