Route Styling

When a routing layer is constructed, the default route color, origin, destination, and stop icons will be used when routeColor, originIcon, destinationIcon, stopIcon route options are not provided. To change these default route properties, either supply custom a color and icons when constructing a layer or use the update function after a layer is created. Requires Trimble Maps v3.1.0 or later.
