Using barriers

One of the useful features in StreetMap is support for dynamic barriers. Imagine you were told that there is an accident on the bridge crossing the Providence River, US Highway 1. To avoid traffic delays you will exclude this part of the street from your route.

Steps:

1. Tap on a segment of the USHWY1 on the bridge crossing the Providence River, and create a location using the Find Location button.

2. Tap and hold on the location callout box until a context menu appears and tap Convert to Barrier.

   A barrier is placed on the route

3. Tap the Create Route button again. Your new route avoids the newly created barrier.

   Your optimized route is completed.

   Note:

   Make sure your barriers are placed on the correct sides of divided streets. If your route is heading eastward and you create a barrier on a westbound lane, your route will not be affected.
