Upgrading from 5.3 to 6.0

Here are some other changes of interest:

looks like TilmapComponent.addPoi() now should be TilemapComponent.addShape().  It looks like you can pass the POI right into it since it takes an IShape and it works ok.

Many Interface classes have been dropped.  You should now be able to use the base classes. 

I got a good email and post from the MapQuest Team, thanks Brian!

Here is the post:  There really is no upgrade path since the v6 sdks (AS and JS) were redone from the ground up. Some classes from v5 were abandoned, like the “I” interface classes. These have been replaced with their base classes: IRectLL is RectLL and IPointLL is now PointLL…

The Exec class for geocode, search, and route functionality has been completely replaced by the web services. Further documentation for the web services can be found in the left hand navigation menu.

The sample code provided for v6 should show most of the changes you need to make. http://www.mapquestapi.com/sdk/as/asfxsamples/

I love the MapQuest team though.  They are willing and ready to help out whenever you need it.  Forums and some quality service are just a call or email away.

Thanks guys for the heads up.
