Thanks, guys... I've never done anything as heavy as use an API, although I'm aware of them. I'll see what I can find. I liked the Google maps because that have a very accurate directions description for where I live - about 25 km outside of Halifax and each turn in direction is accompanied by a distance so I assume that the total distance is the sum of the individual sections. It also appears that Google uses Mapquest as the output is identical... Jim
