>Hello John.
>
>Great code. Six months ago I was involved in a project which dealt with maps. I used Mapwindow, a free mapping activex similar to Mapx to do the project. For that I had to encapsulate the OCX into a VB6 activex in order to VFP to read it.

>Now, looking at Google maps my project could have been a lot more easier because the user shouldn't have to look for maps in SHP format. But when I tried the gmaps approach I couldn't interact with the map, I mean your code is great to show some points in the map, but how could you let the user pick a location in the map and return it to your VFP program to store in the clients table? How could I draw a polyline on the map and store it in my application? Have you faced this need and solve it? Please let me know.

If you use web connection, this shouldn't be too difficult. There are samples on dealing with polylines on the google site. I've downloaded some, but haven't had a chance to do anything with them. It is certainly doable.
