FingerRoute

Overview

This example app demonstrates the following features:

• Calculate a route by drawing with the finger or mouse on the map.

How to use the sample

When you run the example app, you'll be viewing the scene from above. The map is fully interactive, and supports pan and zoom.

Double-click once to activate draw mode, then click and drag a route from one point to another on the map, and when the finger is lifted/mouse button is released, the route is generated using the waypoints along the traced route.

Double-click twice to activate draw mode, then click and drag a route from one point to another on the map, and when the finger is lifted/mouse button is released, the route is generated using only the initial and final waypoint from the traced route, thus the route will be the most efficient between the starting/departure position and destination, with no intermediate waypoints.

How it works

1. Create a MapServiceListener, OpenGLContext, Screen and MapView.
2. Create a RouteList, a LandmarkList with two Landmarks in it and a RoutePreferences object.
3. Call the RoutingService using RouteList, LandmarkList, RoutePreferences and the progress listener.
4. Once the route calculation operation completes, add the first calculated route to the MapViewPreferences routes collection.
5. Instruct the MapView to center on the first route.
