Hi&nbsp;Thinkgeo&nbsp;(and&nbsp;Community),  
  
  
  
I&nbsp;am&nbsp;currently&nbsp;trying&nbsp;to&nbsp;find&nbsp;any&nbsp;route&nbsp;based&nbsp;on&nbsp;tab-Files.&nbsp;In&nbsp;order&nbsp;to&nbsp;do&nbsp;this,&nbsp;I&nbsp;first&nbsp;converted&nbsp;my&nbsp;.tab&nbsp;files&nbsp;to&nbsp;.shp&nbsp;files&nbsp;using&nbsp;ogr2ogr.&nbsp;Afterwards&nbsp;I&nbsp;managed&nbsp;to&nbsp;display&nbsp;certain&nbsp;start&nbsp;and&nbsp;end&nbsp;points&nbsp;using&nbsp;the&nbsp;id’s&nbsp;as&nbsp;proposed&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;Getting-Started-Example.  
  
  
  
When&nbsp;I&nbsp;call&nbsp;GetRoute,&nbsp;I&nbsp;get&nbsp;an&nbsp;ArgumentOutOfRange&nbsp;Exception.&nbsp;I’m&nbsp;pretty&nbsp;sure&nbsp;there’s&nbsp;something&nbsp;wrong&nbsp;with&nbsp;my&nbsp;code&nbsp;(it’s&nbsp;almost&nbsp;the&nbsp;same&nbsp;es&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;examples):

Hi&nbsp;Hanna,&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;for&nbsp;your&nbsp;post,&nbsp;I&nbsp;think&nbsp;the&nbsp;problem&nbsp;is&nbsp;because&nbsp;the&nbsp;rotableShapefile&nbsp;is&nbsp;not&nbsp;generated,&nbsp;following&nbsp;code&nbsp;should&nbsp;solve&nbsp;the&nbsp;problem:&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;Don,&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;thanks,&nbsp;the&nbsp;code&nbsp;you&nbsp;provided&nbsp;works&nbsp;perfectly.&nbsp;I’m&nbsp;almost&nbsp;sure&nbsp;I&nbsp;tried&nbsp;the&nbsp;same,&nbsp;but&nbsp;I&nbsp;must&nbsp;have&nbsp;missed&nbsp;something…&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;I&nbsp;came&nbsp;across&nbsp;some&nbsp;other&nbsp;difficulties:&nbsp;  
&nbsp;-&nbsp;when&nbsp;I&nbsp;calculate&nbsp;my&nbsp;route&nbsp;as&nbsp;you&nbsp;pointed&nbsp;me&nbsp;to&nbsp;above,&nbsp;the&nbsp;directions&nbsp;in&nbsp;my&nbsp;routing&nbsp;result&nbsp;are&nbsp;“invalid”.&nbsp;I&nbsp;guess&nbsp;they’re&nbsp;not&nbsp;calculated&nbsp;and&nbsp;therefor&nbsp;appear&nbsp;as&nbsp;not&nbsp;valid.&nbsp;When&nbsp;I&nbsp;force&nbsp;RoutingEngine&nbsp;to&nbsp;calculate&nbsp;the&nbsp;directions&nbsp;calling&nbsp;RoutingEngine.GetDrivingDirections&nbsp;for&nbsp;each&nbsp;segment&nbsp;returned&nbsp;by&nbsp;routingEngine.GetRouteSegments(),&nbsp;any&nbsp;direction&nbsp;returned&nbsp;is&nbsp;“forward”,&nbsp;which&nbsp;is&nbsp;not&nbsp;very&nbsp;helpful&nbsp;in&nbsp;routing.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;-&nbsp;I&nbsp;have&nbsp;several&nbsp;road&nbsp;layers&nbsp;I&nbsp;want&nbsp;to&nbsp;use&nbsp;for&nbsp;routing.&nbsp;So&nbsp;I&nbsp;merged&nbsp;them&nbsp;to&nbsp;one&nbsp;“all-roads”-shapefile.&nbsp;Creating&nbsp;routing&nbsp;data&nbsp;and&nbsp;routing&nbsp;index&nbsp;for&nbsp;this&nbsp;large&nbsp;shapefile&nbsp;takes&nbsp;extremely&nbsp;long.&nbsp;Is&nbsp;there&nbsp;a&nbsp;more&nbsp;performant&nbsp;way&nbsp;to&nbsp;use&nbsp;more&nbsp;than&nbsp;one&nbsp;road&nbsp;layer?&nbsp;I&nbsp;tried&nbsp;using&nbsp;MultipleShapeFileFeatureSource,&nbsp;but&nbsp;somehow&nbsp;the&nbsp;routing&nbsp;index&nbsp;could&nbsp;not&nbsp;be&nbsp;built.&nbsp;Maybe&nbsp;I&nbsp;should&nbsp;give&nbsp;that&nbsp;a&nbsp;try&nbsp;again&nbsp;-&nbsp;will&nbsp;this&nbsp;be&nbsp;faster&nbsp;than&nbsp;using&nbsp;one&nbsp;large&nbsp;shapefile?&nbsp;  
&nbsp;-&nbsp;is&nbsp;there&nbsp;a&nbsp;possibility&nbsp;to&nbsp;find&nbsp;out&nbsp;the&nbsp;world&nbsp;coordinates&nbsp;of&nbsp;a&nbsp;marker?&nbsp;  
&nbsp;-&nbsp;is&nbsp;there&nbsp;a&nbsp;possibility&nbsp;in&nbsp;MapSuite&nbsp;to&nbsp;convert&nbsp;.TAB&nbsp;to&nbsp;.shp&nbsp;files?&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;in&nbsp;advance,&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;Hanna,&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;As&nbsp;below&nbsp;is&nbsp;the&nbsp;answers&nbsp;about&nbsp;your&nbsp;question:&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Invalid&nbsp;is&nbsp;the&nbsp;default&nbsp;value&nbsp;of&nbsp;a&nbsp;RouteSegment,&nbsp;could&nbsp;you&nbsp;please&nbsp;try&nbsp;put&nbsp;your&nbsp;data&nbsp;into&nbsp;our&nbsp;sample&nbsp;to&nbsp;make&nbsp;sure&nbsp;whether&nbsp;you&nbsp;can&nbsp;get&nbsp;the&nbsp;result&nbsp;in&nbsp;map?&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;You&nbsp;should&nbsp;still&nbsp;choose&nbsp;to&nbsp;create&nbsp;a&nbsp;"all-roads"&nbsp;shapefile,&nbsp;MultipleShapeFileFeatureSource&nbsp;is&nbsp;not&nbsp;recommended.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;You&nbsp;can&nbsp;add&nbsp;map&nbsp;click&nbsp;event&nbsp;to&nbsp;get&nbsp;world&nbsp;coordinates&nbsp;or&nbsp;open&nbsp;mouse&nbsp;coordinates,&nbsp;so&nbsp;the&nbsp;coordinates&nbsp;will&nbsp;shown&nbsp;when&nbsp;mouse&nbsp;move&nbsp;on&nbsp;map.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;You&nbsp;can&nbsp;use&nbsp;our&nbsp;layer&nbsp;to&nbsp;read&nbsp;tab&nbsp;file&nbsp;and&nbsp;get&nbsp;all&nbsp;features&nbsp;then&nbsp;save&nbsp;them&nbsp;to&nbsp;a&nbsp;new&nbsp;shape&nbsp;file.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;BTW,&nbsp;you&nbsp;should&nbsp;want&nbsp;to&nbsp;put&nbsp;the&nbsp;last&nbsp;two&nbsp;questions&nbsp;to&nbsp;other&nbsp;sub&nbsp;forums&nbsp;like:&nbsp;Map&nbsp;Suite&nbsp;Desktop&nbsp;Edition&nbsp;Support.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Regards,&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;Don,&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;thank&nbsp;you&nbsp;for&nbsp;your&nbsp;help.&nbsp;I&nbsp;built&nbsp;the&nbsp;routable&nbsp;shape&nbsp;file&nbsp;and&nbsp;the&nbsp;routing&nbsp;index&nbsp;again&nbsp;and&nbsp;the&nbsp;directions&nbsp;are&nbsp;calculated&nbsp;now&nbsp;correctly.&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Of&nbsp;course&nbsp;my&nbsp;third&nbsp;and&nbsp;fourth&nbsp;question&nbsp;do&nbsp;not&nbsp;belong&nbsp;into&nbsp;here,&nbsp;but&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;Dektop&nbsp;Support&nbsp;Forum.&nbsp;Sorry&nbsp;for&nbsp;that!
