Thanks Silverwarrior for the pover view and the link. I am aware of the Astar stuff, to be honest I wanted a quick dropping for my little project, and my poor noggin finds pathfinding difficult to work on.

I did say "no cost for different terrain or diagonals implemented." and that it was a bare bones solution. I have implemented this simple routine for now but I may revisit later if I can solve my other majors challenges. A few other people have responded to me on the SmartMobileStudio forum to highlight two other solutions implemented in SmartMS.
