< > geometryTaskUrl |
Optional | If available, this geometry service is used to provide latitude/longitude values for stops whose reverse geocoding did not return an address (Added at v3.11).
When using Directions widget with the ArcGIS Online Route endpoint, the widget automatically defaults to using ArcGIS Online Geometry service, so there is no need to set the geometryTaskUrl property. If the geometryTaskUrl value is omitted, and the ArcGIS Online routing service is not used, then the stop's coordinate values will display as is.
Example: geometryTaskUrl: "http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Utilities/Geometry/GeometryServer" |
< > map |
Required | Reference to the map object. |

< > printTaskUrl |
Optional | If available, this print task is used to display an overview map of the route on the directions print page (Added at v3.11).
When using Directions widget with the ArcGIS Online Route endpoint, the widget automatically defaults to using ArcGIS Online Geometry service, so there is no need to set the printTaskUrl property. If the printTaskUrl value is omitted, and the ArcGIS Online routing service is not used, then no overview map will be displayed on the directions print page.
The URL needs to be for an ArcGIS Server Export Web Map Task, for example: printTaskUrl: "http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Utilities/PrintingTools/GPServer/Export%20Web%20Map%20Task" |
