The route overview component renders a route on a <gmp-map>
component,
including origin and destination markers, an outlined polyline, and viewport
management.
This component can fetch route data from the Directions API, or use a
DirectionsRoute
object provided from elsewhere in code. The component will
locally cache route data to avoid redundant API requests.
When loading the library with a <script> tag (referencing the CDN bundle), please refer to the instructions in the root-level Readme. You do not need to take additional steps to use this component.
When bundling your dependencies and you want to include <gmpx-route-overview>
on a page:
import '@googlemaps/extended-component-library/route_overview.js';
When bundling your dependencies and you need to access the class RouteOverview
directly (less common):
import { RouteOverview } from '@googlemaps/extended-component-library/route_overview.js';

To show a driving route between two locations, simply place a Route Overview inside a <gmp-map>
element with origin and destination attributes set. The Route Overview will automatically set the map's viewport to show the route, so there's no need to set the center
or zoom
on the map element.
<gmp-map map-id="DEMO_MAP_ID">
<gmpx-route-overview origin-address="Amsterdam" destination-address="Berlin">
</gmpx-route-overview>
</gmp-map>
<gmp-map map-id="DEMO_MAP_ID">
<gmpx-route-overview
