I am using an ArcGIS Online Web Map with hosted feature services. I thought there used to be a method when selecting a feature you could click a button that would say "Directions to here" and it would provide a route to the selected feature.
- This is available in Collector
Now I cannot find this option in Explorer only the compass option.
Was this feature deprecated or am I missing something?
the reference guide HERE says its possible but doesn't really provide steps to achieve it.
I am using Android devices
Solved! Go to Solution.
I found a temporary workaround in case anyone else needs this.
my features have an address attribute field that's displayed in the pop-up.
if you highlight the address Android will detect this and a "google maps" icon will appear which will provide driving directions.
- still would be nice if it has the same option as collector to "Get directions Here"

At this time, directions in Explorer on Android are only supported with Navigator for ArcGIS, so you need Navigator installed to see the Directions option. The doc incorrectly lists Google Maps support. There is a request in to get the doc fixed (thanks for bringing it to my attention!)
Adding support for getting directions in Google Maps is planned: BUG-000114385: Unable to navigate from Explorer for ArcGIS (Android..
Hey Kylie, any update on getting directions through Google Maps, etc for Explorer (Android)?
