Hi Barry - really appreciate the info. I thought perhaps KML had something to do with this. Going to spend some time reading up on it but sounds like its related to Google Earth? Since MotionX pulls in data like altitude and terrain topography (to track things like off road hikes and bike rides) this seems to make sense.
For my application though, it will be road specific and so simple multipoint driving directions is all I need. I'm wondering if KML is necessary for this? Thanks again. Very helpful start and I was able to go to the file and see the code. I'm assuming its dynamically generated using something like PHP.
