Mapkit js routes more then 2 locations

Question

In this sample code I can get the routes to 2 different locations.

var myDirections = new mapkit.Directions();
myDirections.route({
  origin: "San Francisco, CA",
  destination: "Los angeles, CA",
  transportType: mapkit.Directions.Transport.Automobile },
  function(error, data) {
  // Results are returned asynchronously via this callback function, in `data`
  }
);

How can I get the same results for say 5 or 10 locations?? I have the lat and long coordinates if that is better.

var myDirections = new mapkit.Directions();
myDirections.route({
  origin: "San Francisco, CA",
  otherLocation: "other location",
  otherLocation: "other location etc",
  destination: "Los angeles, CA",
  transportType: mapkit.Directions.Transport.Automobile },
  function(error, data) {
  // Results are returned asynchronously via this callback function, in `data`

  }
);

Answer 1

You can add multiple destinations as shown

var myDirections = new mapkit.Directions();
myDirections.route({
  origin: "San Francisco, CA",
  destination: "Los angeles, CA",
  destination: "Riverside, CA",
  destination: "Las Vegas, NV",
  transportType: mapkit.Directions.Transport.Automobile },
  function(error, data) {
  // Results are returned asynchronously via this callback function, in `data`
  console.table(data.routes);
  console.log(getMiles(data.routes[0].distance)+' miles');
  }
);

Answer 2

Your first example only has an origin and a destination. That is 1 route. There are no "otherLocations".

My question was how can I get the same results for say 5 or 10 locations?? The first code set is just a regular working example.

Answer 4

Can't you loop throughj destinations ?

let allDestinations: [String] = ["Los angeles, CA", Palo Alto CA"]
var myDirections = new mapkit.Directions();
for destination in allDestinations {
     myDirections.route({
       origin: "San Francisco, CA",
       destination: destination,
       transportType: mapkit.Directions.Transport.Automobile },
       function(error, data) {
       // Results are returned asynchronously via this callback function, in `data`
       }
     )
}

Note: maybe you have to make myDirections an Array…

Answer 5

No this would only give directions from the starting point to each individual point along the route.

Answer 7

I thought that was your spec.

o you wanted a sequence of consecutive destination ?

Seems you found the solution. Great.
