Why should it not be? Hint: Mike's EPoly extension might be useful here. > How about if I showed on the map the path to the final location but no > guidance on e.g. "turn left here"... I don't see a problem with a UI such as - enter start location and end location - show map with suggested route and current location - continually update current location and calculate distance to end point. For a jogging app, you might keep track of the route *actually used* and its total length as well. The suggested route might use the short way around a block that I choose to jog the long way round instead.
