Display directions for a route between two points.

Use case

Find routes with driving directions between any number of locations. You might use the ArcGIS platform to create a custom network for routing on a private roads.

How to use the sample

For simplicity, the sample comes loaded with a start and end stop. You can tap on the “Find Route” button to display a route between these stops. Once the route is generated, turn-by-turn directions are shown in a list. You can use the “Reset” button to reset the sample.

How it works

  1. Create a RouteTask using a URL to an online route service.
  2. Generate default RouteParameters using routeTask.createDefaultParametersAsync().
  3. Use setReturnDirections on the parameters and set to true.
  4. Use setStops on the parameters to add Stops to its stops collection for each destination.
  5. Solve the route using routeTask.solveAsync(routeParameters) to get a RouteResult.
  6. Iterate through the result’s Routes. To display the route, create a graphic using the geometry from route.getRouteGeometry(). To display directions, use route.getDirectionManeuvers(), and for each DirectionManeuver, display DirectionManeuver.getDirectionText().
