Getting directions

NoteNote:

If the Directions button is not present in the map viewer, your portal has not been configured to view directions. Contact your portal administrator if you need this functionality.

You can use the map viewer to get a set of turn-by-turn driving directions. Direction options include return to start and optimize the order. Once you get directions, you can zoom to the full route and print the directions.

Follow these steps to get driving directions:

Steps:
  1. Sign in to the portal.
  2. Open the map viewer.
  3. Click the Directions button Directions to display the Directions panel to the left of the map.
  4. Get directions by adding the following information:
    • Enter the origin in the A field A.
    • Enter the destination in the B field B.
    • To reorder the origin and destination, click the Reverse Directions button Reverse Directions. The Reverse Directions button only appears if you have an origin and one destination.
    • To add additional destinations, click the Add destination link and enter an address in the new field.
    • To reorder a route with an origin and two or more destinations, click and drag the letter buttons (for example, A) in the order you want.
    • If you have an origin and three or more destinations and want the map viewer to optimize your route, click the Show options link and check the box next to Optimize order. The middle destinations are optimized; the origin and final destination are not reordered.
    • To create a round-trip route, click the Show options link and check the box next to Return to start.
  5. Click the Get Directions button to display text directions in the left panel of the map viewer and the route within the map.

Once you get directions, you can print the directions and interact with the route map. The route and directions are not saved with the map.

  • To create a printer-friendly version of the turn-by-turn text directions, click the Print button Print within the Directions panel. Use the Print button at the top of the map viewer to print the route map (your map won't include driving directions).
    NoteNote:

    Once you close the Directions pane, you cannot print the text directions for the route.

  • If you open the Details panel (to view details, contents, or legend), click the Directions button Directions to get back to the Directions panel.
  • Click the View Full Route link to zoom the map back to the full extent of the route.
