myMapCtrl.Newdrawing(1) && insert a "category of objects to insert onto your map" WITH myMapCtrl.Newdrawing(0) && your first category for your labels .FontName = "Verdana" .FontSize = 9 ENDWITH && Then try add labels it is simpler than lines or circles! myMapCtrl.DrawLabelEx(0,'My test",mylongitude,mylatitude,0)If that does not work, I am lost at this stage. I have not been into the code base for a while now. I'll try to dive into it later:-)
