NavigationVisualization

public protocol NavigationVisualization : AnyObject

Entry point for all methods related to the navigation visualization module. Instances of NavigationVisualization are created using create(map:navigation:styleConfiguration:). You should call methods on these instances from the main thread only, otherwise an exception can occur.

A NavigationVisualization instance is used by first providing a RoutePlan with displayRoutePlan(:_). After that, the TomTomSDKRoute/Routes contained in the RoutePlan are displayed on the map, and you can use setActiveRoute(_:) to select a route to navigate. You can access the list of route primitives displayed on the map using routes. The selected route and the alternative routes are styled with the properties contained in the StyleConfiguration provided to create(map:navigation:styleConfiguration:). After selecting the type of navigation guidance with the property guidanceType, you can start the navigation session with TomTomSDKNavigation/Navigation/start(). Once the navigation session is started, the route that is set becomes the active route. When you’re finished using NavigationVisualization, call TomTomSDKNavigation/Navigation/stop(). You can then call clearRoutePlan() to remove all the primitives that have been added to the map by the module.

Visualization of on-route traffic incidents can be enabled or disabled using areTrafficIncidentsEnabled. If a TomTomSDKRoute/Route contained in the RoutePlan has traffic data available and areTrafficIncidentsEnabled is true, traffic incidents are displayed on the map on top of that TomTomSDKRoute/Route. You can access the list of traffic incidents that are on a route using trafficIncidents(on:).

The navigation visualization module subscribes to certain listeners during its life cycle, so that it can react automatically to important events:

• TomTomSDKNavigation/NavigationStartObserver - Notifies the module when a navigation session starts. The module reacts by removing the alternative routes from the map, setting the camera tracking mode to TomTomSDKMapsDisplay/CameraTrackingMode/followNorthUp, and setting a default tilt angle.
• TomTomSDKNavigation/NavigationProgressObserver - Notifies the module as the driver progresses on the route. The module reacts by updating the visual cue of the progress on the route (i.e., the grayed-out region behind the vehicle).
• TomTomSDKNavigation/NavigationRouteObserver - Notifies the module if the driver deviates from the current route. A new route is provided along with the notification. The module reacts by replacing the current route with the new one.
• TomTomSDKNavigation/GuidanceUpdateObserver - Notifies the module when new on-route instructions are available. The new instructions are provided along with the notification. The module reacts by updating the route with the new instructions.
• TomTomSDKNavigation/NavigationDestinationArrivalObserver - Notifies the module when the driver reaches the destination. The module reacts by removing the route from the map, setting camera tracking mode to TomTomSDKMapsDisplay/CameraTrackingMode/followNorthUp, and setting the default 2D view.
  • TomTomSDKMapDisplay/CameraEventObserver - Notifies the module when a parameter of the camera changes. The module reacts by, for example, showing or hiding certain traffic markers (see markerVisibilityByCategory).
