Route coordinates

[Wael_Kurdi]

how can i find coordinates in a route to be used in tracking application.

Hi Wael,

Do you means that you need to get the route based on the locations. If so, please try the following steps:

1. Use the “Routing Index Generator” tools(you can download it from here) to build the routable files.

2. Create the Routing Engine by the files created in the #1. As shown below:

   ShapeFileFeatureSource featureSource = new shapeFileFeatureSource("XXX.shp"); RtgRoutingSource routingSource = new RtgRoutingSource("XXX.rtg"); RoutingEngine routingEngine = new RoutingEngine(routingSource, featureSource);

3. Open the Routing Engine.

4. Call the method GetRoute of Routing Engine as below:

   routingResult = routingEngine.GetRoute(routingLayer.StartPoint, routingLayer.EndPoint, routingLayer.StopPoints);
   

   And then we can access the routingResult.Rout.Vetices property to get the all coordinates.

Using Routing with SQLite?

I’ve started the next part of our prototype application.  I have GeoCoding working and Vehicle Location working.  Now I am working on Routing.  I downloaded the CityRoutingAndDirections_Desktop example.  I see it uses the local austin shape files.  How would I go about using the SQLite database instead?  I wasn’t able to find a demo like that.  For our other examples we are using the OSMWorldMapKit class library to load the SQLite data. Thank you in advance for your guidance.

If something misunderstood here please provide more information about your real scenario.

Thanks,
Emil

Thanks Emil,

What I mean is that I have lat/long of a tracked assist and I need to know if it is in the route since I have the route data and drawn.

Thanks.

Hi Wael,

Please try the following steps:

1. Get the route as Emil mentioned before.

2. Call the contains method for route got in #1 to determine whether contains the target location. The code maybe like below:

   var bufferShape = routingResult.Route.Buffer(distance, GeographyUnit shapeUnit, DistanceUnit distanceUnit);
   bool contains = bufferShape.Contains(targetShape);

Thanks,
Peter
