# MKDirections.Response

The route information that Apple servers return in response to your request for directions.

```
class Response
```

## Overview

You don’t create instances of this class directly. Instead, you initiate a request for directions by calling the [`calculate(completionHandler:)`](/documentation/MapKit/MKDirections/calculate(completionHandler:)) method of an [`MKDirections`](/documentation/MapKit/MKDirections) object. The completion handler you pass to that method receives an `MKDirections.Response` object with the results.

## Topics

### Getting the end points

[`source`](/documentation/MapKit/MKDirections/Response/source)

[`destination`](/documentation/MapKit/MKDirections/Response/destination)

The end point of the route.

### Getting the route information

[`routes`](/documentation/MapKit/MKDirections/Response/routes)

An array of route objects representing the directions between the start and end points.
