How to: Calculate a Route by Addresses

  • 2 minutes to read

To send a route request, use the BingRouteDataProvider.CalculateRoute method. This method receives a list of RouteWaypoint objects as a parameter. Note that RouteWaypoint objects are created using the constructor that receives the waypoint description and a keyword that is used to search for a location on a map.
