Directions provide you with a set of turn-by-turn driving or walking paths and show the route on the map once you sign in to your organization with privileges to perform network analysis. Directions allow you to set different travel modes, add and switch stops, and save the route as a .kmz file to share with others.
Configure a route
To configure a route, complete the following steps:
- Do one of the following to start a route:
- Click the Directions button
to open the panel after clicking Search 
in the upper right corner. - Right-click any point or search result on the map and choose Get directions from the context menu.
- Right-click any .kml point file in the table of contents and choose Get directions from the context menu.
- Search for places or addresses in the search tool and click the Get directions button
next to the search box.
Once the start point and endpoint are defined, a route analysis is performed, direction information appears in the panel, and the route appears on the map. - Click the Directions button
- Optionally, do any of the following to make changes to the
stops:
- Click the Reverse stops button
to reverse the order of stops in the route. - If you have three or more destinations and want to remove any of them, click the Remove stop button
next to a destination to remove it. - Click the Clear all button to clear all stops.
- Drag the Reorder handles
to modify the order of stops in a route.
- Click the Reverse stops button
- Optionally, choose an appropriate travel mode from the travel mode drop-down menu. The default travel mode is set through your organization. The available options depend on the travel mode configured by the organization.

The drop-down arrow next to the stop input lists available locators preconfigured by the organization. You can choose an appropriate locator to browse to the destinations.
Note:
- Credits are consumed when a route is generated, destinations are modified, or the order is optimized.
- If a route is not within a supported network coverage area, a message notifies you that it can't find a way there.
