John, We have a routing application called RouteView which can work can with VB5 or MapX and works off a MapInfo platform. There are currently other users developing applications using RouteView/RouteView Pro and MapX. RouteView can quickly calculate and display shortest or faster routes between different points in the order you want to visit them. It also enables you to find the optimum route based on road types and speeds and to calculate drive times and distances. RouteView also contains a function enabling you to calculate catchment areas based on time or distance. RouteView Pro allows you enter user-defined restrictions such as one-way, weight and height restrictions. You can also set variable road speeds for different times of the day and print out detailed directions including names, distances between each section, direction and which way to turn. RouteView Pro allows editing of roads so you can create short-cuts that would not normally be available in datasets (ideal for calculating walking distances) and includes a territory builder which allocates regions to the closest resources. There is also a RouteView Software Developers Kit available which allows you to integrate all or some of the functionality of RouteView into your own applications. The kit is broken down into two sets of DLL's; Set One: Drive Distance and Drive Time Regions and Set Two: Route Optimisation & Point to Point. The Developers Kits works with any programming language that supports DLL calling. More information can be found on our website www.mapcentric.co.uk.

This application would look and behave a lot like Mapquest (http://www.mapquest.com) or YahooMaps (http://maps.yahoo.com). Also, does any one have any experience using MapX on a touchscreen?
