search and route solving fuctions

MuhamedRedzic — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 13:36:18 GMT

Hello, i'm using the search and the route solving functions. The thing is, sometimes i can find a point on the map with the search function, but the same text can't be reused to mark the start/end point for the route solving function. Is there a solution for this ?

Thanks for you help

try to take the location from search tool and pass this as direction stop on direction widget

location is the geometry from search result

location = webMercatorUtils.webMercatorToGeographic(location);

var CoordsforStop = "" + location.x + "," + location.y +"";

directions.updateStop(CoordsforStop,1);

You can use the select - results event in order to identify the selected item from the list

Search | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.17

from the result take the item geometry and push it on location parameter.

something like that

require([
...
], function( ... )
on(s,'select-result', function(e) {
var location = e.geometry;

location = webMercatorUtils.webMercatorToGeographic(location);

var CoordsforStop = "" + location.x + "," + location.y +"";

directions.updateStop(CoordsforStop,1);

});
...
});
