Routing Task

Network checker script

App flow

• Rudimentary de-coupled, event-driven architecture, some model/controller/command elements

• Classes Route Command

• A command class to build, issue and handle the results from our magical gp task

StopsManager• Parses the route segments into “stops” to display in the RouteNavigator using Floor/Building

combinations

MapViewController• Listens for MapView events and responds by setting the map extent and active floor layer

DrawRouteCommand• Handles drawing the route segments on the proper floors, as well as route symbology (start, end floor

transition points)

FindRoomCommand• Waits for a FindRoomEvent, then zooms the map to the room passed by event.data

FloorManager• Responds to FloorChangeEvents by setting the current floor and fading the overlay layer out and in to

hide load delays

• Components FloorChooser

Legend

LocatorMap

RouteChooser• Where you input your desired route or room to find

RouteNavigator• Displays the route “stops”
