how to get the directions data of the route
To get directions data for a route, you can use mapping services like Google Maps or other GPS-based apps. Simply enter your starting point and destination, and the app will provide step-by-step directions along with distance and estimated travel time. You can also customize the route based on traffic conditions and preferences.
