====== Map Suite Routing ======

Let your mapping applications start taking you places! Map Suite Routing is an extension for Map Suite Desktop, Web, Services or Silverlight Edition that calculates routes and driving directions. This native .NET component gives your Map Suite applications the power to find the shortest path from A to B, deliver turn-by-turn directions, avoid specified areas, and much more.
