Find route

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 private roads.

How to use the sample

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

How it works

1. Create a RouteTask instance using a URL to an online route service.
2. Create default RouteParameters using RouteTask.createDefaultParameters().
3. Set returnDirections on the parameters to true.
4. Create Stop instances for each destination and assign the stops to the route parameters using RouteParameters.setStops(_:).
5. Solve the route using RouteTask.solveRoute(routeParameters:) to get a RouteResult.
6. Create GraphicsOverlay and Graphic instances for the route and stops.
7. Iterate through the result’s Routes. To display the route, update the route graphic’s geometry with the route’s routeGeometry. To display directions, get the direction maneuvers from the route’s directionManeuvers property, and, for each maneuver, display the maneuver’s directionText.
