Search, attachment of route points

On the new Maps.lt website you can perform search for the fastest and the shortest routes. This is a great tool helping to plan for both business and leisure trips and saving your time and money. On Maps.lt website you can perform route search between no more than 4 route points marked.

Route planning is started from indicating route points. A route point may be any point object on the Maps.lt map which can be identified and any point marked on the map by clicking on it.

There are several options for choosing route points:

• Indicating route points using the Maps.lt search for objects.

When using standard Maps.lt search and having found the object needed (selecting it to be shown on the map), the user will see a window with additional information next to the map displayed:

Apart from functional links Search Around, E-Mail Link and Link To Here, the window of additional information also shows the link Include In Route. Clicking on this link activates the route search bar (on the toolbar to the left of the map) and the corresponding point is included in the route. route points are included in the order of entry but you can change them in between at any time thus looking for the optimal route option.

No more than 4 points may be included in the route!

• Indicating route points by using search for objects on the Route Search bar.

Search for objects is started by pressing Enter Point (). In the standard Maps.lt search bar for objects formulate the query needed and press Search (). Search results are presented on the same Route Search bar. Click on the entry of the object found and this point will automatically be included as a route point.

• Indicating route points by marking a specific point on the map.

Another way to specify a route point is to mark it on the map. By choosing Click tool() fix the map location you need by clicking on it. After marking the location the route point is automatically added to the route search bar.

Making the Route

Points specified as described above are displayed on the Route Search bar:

Options:

• Selection of the fastest or the shortest route. Depending on the choice different route are planned. In the first case the route is not necessarily the shortest but is the fastest taking into account the allowed speed limit. In the second case the shortest route is planned;

• In both cases, when planning for the shortest and for the fastest routes, possible directions of movement on corresponding roads are evaluated;

• When planning the route, it is possible to change the sequence of route points. You can change the sequence by dragging the point to the position in the list you want;

• All changes to the route search settings are registered by clicking on the functional link Search;

• If you want to search for a new route, first you have to delete the current one. This can be done by choosing the functional link Clear.

After the route search is performed, the same bar shows the breakdown of the route found and the map displays the route visualisation:
