Display a route layer and its directions using a feature collection.

Use case

Routes can be stored as feature collection layers. These layers can store useful information such as directions, estimated trip time, and more.

You can create a route layer in ArcGIS Pro and store a route layer as a portal item, making it easy to access, share, or display.

How to use the sample

Pan and zoom to view the route displayed by the feature collection layer. Press the Directions button to view the list of directions.

How it works

  1. Create a PortalItem with the item ID.
  2. Create and load a FeatureCollection with the item.
  3. After loading, get the specified FeatureCollectionTable by name.
  4. Get all of the ArcGISFeatures using FeatureTable::queryFeaturesAsync.
  5. Get the direction text from the attributes of each feature.
  6. Create a FeatureCollectionLayer with the feature collection and set it to the map's operationalLayers.
