Hi All,  
I am chasing a simple way to calculate the azimuth of the line when using the DrawLine or Measure function. Is there a built in function that may do that, or would I have to create my own function to calculate it ?  
Any help appreciated,  
Regards  
Terry  
PS. Similar to the Ruler Measure function in Google earth  
**NB its in the Measuring Class Reference = AxMap1.Measuring.ShowBearing = True**
