This sample demonstrates how to solve a route on-the-fly using offline data.

Use case

You can use an offline network to enable routing in disconnected scenarios. For example, you could provide offline location capabilities to field workers repairing critical infrastructure in a disaster when network availability is limited.

How to use the sample

Click near a road to start adding a stop to the route, click again to place it on the map. A number graphic will show its order in the route. After adding at least 2 stops, a route will display. Choose "Fastest" or "Shortest" to control how the route is optimized. To move a stop, click on the graphic, and while continuing to press on the graphic, move the mouse to reposition. Release the mouse to set the new position. The route will update on-the-fly while moving stops. The green box marks the boundary of the route geodatabase.

How it works

To display a Route using a RouteTask with offline data:

Create the map's Basemap from a local tile package using a TileCache and ArcGISTiledLayer
Create a RouteTask with an offline locator geodatabase
Get the RouteParameters using routeTask.createDefaultParameters()
Create Stops and add them to the route task's parameters.
Solve the Route using routeTask.solveRoute(routeParameters)
Create a graphic with the route's geometry and a SimpleLineSymbol and display it on another GraphicsOverlay.

Offline data

The data used by this sample is available on ArcGIS Online.

San Diego Streets TPKX	`<userhome>`/ArcGIS/Runtime/Data/tpkx/san_diego

About the data

This sample uses a pre-packaged sample dataset consisting of a geodatabase with a San Diego road network and a tile package with a streets basemap.
