TravelDirectionsData

TravelDirectionsData[…]

represents travel directions generated by TravelDirections.

Details and Options

  • Properties of travel directions can be obtained as TravelDirectionsData[…]["prop"].
  • Possible properties include:
  • "Dataset"Dataset with maneuvers and other data
    "TravelPath"travel path as a GeoPath primitive
    "ManeuverGrid"grid of maneuvers
    "TravelDistance"total distance to travel
    "TravelTime"total time for travel

Basic Examples  (1)

Travel from Miami to New York:

Wolfram Language code: td = TravelDirections[{Entity["City", {"Miami", "Florida", "UnitedStates"}], Entity["City", {"NewYork", "NewYork", "UnitedStates"}]}]

Draw the trip on a map:

Wolfram Language code: GeoGraphics[td["TravelPath"]]

Print a table of instructions:

Wolfram Language code: td["Dataset"]

Scope  (1)

Compute travel directions between two locations in Paris:

Wolfram Language code: td = TravelDirections[{Entity["Building", "EiffelTower::5h9w8"], Entity["Building", "TheLouvre::vqy3g"]}]

Obtain properties of the trip from the TravelDirectionsData object:

Wolfram Language code: td["TravelDistance"]
Wolfram Language code: td["TravelTime"]
Wolfram Language code: td["ManeuverGrid"]
Wolfram Language code: GeoGraphics[{Red, Thick, td["TravelPath"]}]
Wolfram Language code: td["Dataset"]

Options  (1)

UnitSystem  (1)

Extract property values in the specified unit system:

Wolfram Language code: td = TravelDirections[{Entity["City", {"Sydney", "NewSouthWales", "Australia"}], Entity["City", {"Perth", "WesternAustralia", "Australia"}]}]
Wolfram Language code: td["TravelDistance", UnitSystem -> "Metric"]
Wolfram Language code: td["TravelDistance", UnitSystem -> "Imperial"]

Properties & Relations  (3)

TravelDirectionsData objects are produced by TravelDirections:

Wolfram Language code: TravelDirections[{Entity["City", {"Tokyo", "Tokyo", "Japan"}], Entity["City", {"Osaka", "Osaka", "Japan"}]}]

Some properties of TravelDirectionsData objects can be obtained from specific functions:

Wolfram Language code: locs = {Entity["City", {"Tokyo", "Tokyo", "Japan"}], Entity["City", {"Osaka", "Osaka", "Japan"}]};
Wolfram Language code: td = TravelDirections[locs]
Wolfram Language code: {td["TravelTime"], TravelTime[locs]}
Wolfram Language code: {td["TravelDistance"], TravelDistance[locs]}

Compute travel directions between Perth and Townsville in Australia:

Wolfram Language code: td = TravelDirections[{Entity["City", {"Perth", "WesternAustralia", "Australia"}], Entity["City", {"Townsville", "Queensland", "Australia"}]}]

These are the latitude and longitude bounds of the corresponding travel path:

Wolfram Language code: GeoBounds[td]

GeoGraphics[TravelDirectionsData[…]] shows the area:

Wolfram Language code: GeoGraphics[td]

Use TravelDirectionsData[…]["TravelPath"] to represent the actual path:

Wolfram Language code: GeoGraphics[Arrow[td["TravelPath"]]]
