navigation.js

• Install: npm install navigation.js --save
• Test: npm test
• Run debug map locally: npm start. Then head to http://localhost:9966

Example:

var navigation = require('navigation.js')({
    units: 'miles',
    maxReRouteDistance: 0.03,
    maxSnapToLocation: 0.01
});
 
// Where is the user along the route?
navigation.getCurrentStep(userLocation, mapboxDirectionRoute.routes[0].legs[0], 0);

API Usage

getCurrentStep

Given a user location and route, calculates closest step to user.

Parameters

• user object point feature representing user location. Must be a valid GeoJSON object.
• route object from Mapbox directions API. The Mapbox directions API returns an object with up to 2 routes on the route key. getCurrentStep expects of these routes, either the first or second.
• userCurrentStep number along the route
• userBearing number current user bearing. If provided, the user must be within a certain threshold of the steps exit bearing to successful complete a step.

Returns object Containing 3 keys: step, distance, snapToLocation. distance is the line distance to end of step, absoluteDistance is the users absolute distance to the end of the route snapToLocation is location along route which is closest to the user.

Parameters

• object units - either miles or km. maxReRouteDistance - max distance the user can be from the route. maxSnapToLocation - max distance to snap user to route. completionDistance - distance away from end of step that is considered a completion. If this distance is shorter than the step distance, it will be changed to 10ft. warnUserTime - number of seconds ahead of maneuver to warn user about maneuver. shortCompletionDistance - if the step is shorter than the completionDistance, this distance will be used to calculate if the step has been completed. userBearingCompleteThreshold - Bearing threshold for the user to complete a step
