Mayayana,

Side note: If you're looking for good map data you might
try Bing.

I could have use for that. The OSM data I've got shows stuff that has
changed more than a decade, maybe even two ago.

I had to sign up for Bing,

Alas, that is always a deal-breaker to me.

Side side note: If you want to use winhttp for a REST
API on XP you need to install the update for TLS.

Huh, such a thing actually exists ? A few years ago I spend quite a bit
of time searching for it, but could never find a download. :-( Do you
still have the link to that update handy ?

Not that it matters much anymore though, as I've figured out how to use FFs
DLLs if I need an SSL connection (though I've never been able to find out
how to verify the returned cert :-\ ).

And I take it you have no idea about how to solve my origional problem ?
Too bad. Could have used it.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
