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 AGSRouteTask using a URL to an online route service.
2. Generate default AGSRouteParameters using AGSRouteTask.defaultRouteParameters(completion:).
3. Set returnDirections on the parameters to true.
4. Create an ASGStop object for each destination and assign the stops to the parameters using AGSRouteParameters.setStops(_:).
5. Solve the route using AGSRouteTask.solveRoute(with:completion:) to get an AGSRouteResult.
6. Iterate through the result's AGSRoutes. To display the route, create a graphic using the geometry from 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.
