Shapes and performance

Question #1: Is it possible to retrieve polyline coordinates from a shape of 
type free form (polyline)?
Question #2: I have an application that needs to update the location of 
50-100 vehicles every second. Will there be a performance problem if I use 
pushpins in MapPoint to do this? Anyone with experience of that kind of 
applicaton?

LeffePe,

From writing a COM Addin that plots an Access db recordset,
my _opinion_ is that:

#1) The FreeForm type of line has vertices that can be enumerated.
#2) The window can't update that fast, but there's no reason you can't
      plot arrays of points every 15 seconds or so.

Question 1 - No Idea!

Question 2 - Remember the last position and only update if it changes then
you should have no issues, also do you actually need to update every second?
