Directions widget now includes support for barriers
The Directions widget now supports working with showBarriersButton
to determine optimal routing. This adds a restriction line barrier, which prohibits travel where the barrier intersects the route. The route dynamically changes the directions to avoid the barrier. For example, you may add a line barrier if there is a parade or protest that blocks traffic on your route. If this is the case, the route would automatically get diverted around that barrier.
Planetary measurements
Measurement widget and Scalebar widget have been updated to support many non-Earth projections, such as for the Moon, Mars, Venus. This allows you to properly measure craters on the moon or plan your next trip to Mars.
