# Route

Information about a route, including step-by-step instructions, distance, and estimated travel time.

```
class Route
```

## Overview

A [`Route`](/documentation/MapKitJS/Route) object encapsulates the information for a route that the server returns, including geometry that you can use to draw a path and step-by-step text instructions. You don’t instantiate [`Route`](/documentation/MapKitJS/Route) objects directly; MapKit JS returns them as part of the [`DirectionsResponse`](/documentation/MapKitJS/DirectionsResponse).
