# DirectionsResponse

The directions and estimated travel time for a route.

interface DirectionsResponse

## Overview

To get directions, create an instance of [`Directions`](/documentation/MapKitJS/Directions) and call the [`route(request)`](/documentation/MapKitJS/Directions/route) method.

The [`route(request)`](/documentation/MapKitJS/Directions/route) method returns a promise that resolves with a `DirectionsResponse` on success.
