Display a map showing multiple route points.

I know that this can be done using yahoo.maps/beta but not yet with Microsoft Virtual Earth….

I have a requirement to display a map that shows the route between a number of points (possibly up to 20) but normally just 8. I will provide to the API the best optimized route around the points – but the API only allows for a driving route between two points. And this would mean printing off maps that show A to B, B to C, C to D etc.

Any suggestion if / when this feature will be implemented Also I don’t want to go down the web service route as this is cost prohibitive.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions….

    If you really want to do this, you can probably override the API code to accept multiple waypoints for the route generation. You just need to find the API code that makes the call and override it to behave like MWS.

    I've put a request out to MSFT for more details. When I hear more, I'll let you know. But, chances are, this feature is slated for an upcoming release (either the next release or the one after).

    Good question! It would be really helpful to be able to plot a route through several pre-selected points, instead of just two. Sorry I can't offer any suggestions, but I hope this can be included in a future version.

    I have code to produce multiple routes and maps but not on the same map, on the same map would look a little dumb.

  • Talyrond

    Surely it would be easy enough to plot them yourselves

    There will be quite a few combinations but it should be doable.
