Thread: mappoint oddities, anomalies, general weirdness...

This is a known feature of the mappoint SDK. Although you can choose any point as a starting point in the mappoint program itself. You can't programmatically create a route with a highway as a starting position. Since highways are limited access roads with the only places to get on and off them at on and off ramps, the only time it will ever start a route on a highway is if you are very close to an onramp when you start a route, otherwise it assumes you are starting from a location that is off the highway which should always be true if you use mappoint in the way it was designed to be used which does not include in vehicle nav.

any tips/ideas on this?? I know this isn't an AutoTouch problem, but this is the only front end using this mapping program... could it be due to an AGPS setting??
