Hi niqbal, just replied to your pm and noticed the post (so ignore my pm reply!). thanks for the files, I will try them and report back. What I meant about noth up or direction up is the ability, when navigating for the route to always point upwards, that way left and right turns are on you left and right. At the moment the pointer follows the map direction so could be going down the screen if I am travelling South and up the screen if I am travelling North. Does that make sense? Also, do I need to do anything for the auto-recalculate route to start working or will it do it by itself? Mike
