.. and I'd rather they got on with the work, so we can all bring what you need closer to creation.

If they need help, I am looking to get out of the Unix world and get into a Mac programming job

However, if I understand this clearly would you be after RouteBuddy running on a server (on a Mac mini installed in your car) and then you write your own UI and can call the map if you so wish?

I was thinking more along the lines of distributed objects, but a TCP based server (though for car purposes the chance of there being more than one Mac would be slim I think) could work too.

Basically RouteBuddy would still do all that it normally does with the addition of allowing another application display the map as well as issue the control (zoom, pan, address entry, etc..).

Thanks for listening to us and responding btw.
