Thanks. I'll take it to email now.

>>Right now I'm playing with the eval version. I'm trying to decide whether to reccomend that or MapInfo to my boss. I'm leaning towards the ESRI stuff, but I know he'll be leaning towards MapInfo since that's what we use in the current version of the software.

>I can't give you any help with the product decision because I don't know anything about the MapX control (if that's what it's still called).
>
>>At this point, my main question is "how do I work this", which is rather vague. :) Do you have any examples of forms with maps in them? Or geocoding? Those are the two biggies. I need to be able to geocode one address at a time, and show a list of points on a map. The third thing I need is routing, but I'm looking for a third party for that since it involves complex math.
>
>I haven't done geocoding or routing with it. We use it to produce thematic maps of data distributions like popuation, income, unemployment, etc. One big bummer is that there is that MapObjects has no facility for creating legends.
>
>>Basically any examples you could throw at me would be helpful. I'm looking at the VB examples and trying to make sense of them, but seeing it done in VFP would be _much_ better.
>
>Email me at gaxtell@geosolinc.com and I'll reply with some code out of one our Init methods that shows how we build a thematic map. Maybe that will help get you started.
>
>>Also, I'd like to know if I can bug you with questions. :) If we go with Map Objects, I'm sure I'll have a ton of them.

>Bug away!
