[Solved] Option to provide auto calculated road route between two points in the Map component and zoom and center values?

[Rob]

I like the Map component and have it working reasonably well with a couple of exceptions:

There is no option to calculate a road route between two points. (not talking lines, but actual road routes like one sees in Google maps)

In addition the Center and Zoom don't automatically get calculated based on the Map Layer data points?

I've manually calculated "Center" ... also calculated the distance between two points (but this is not actual road travel distance) in order to determine a Zoom level (interpolated).  

I've seen this:

and

https://feedback.telerik.com/blazor/1571399-add-the-ability-to-draw-lines-and-polygons

But it seems these never gain traction.

I realize I can probably go with a Google API KEY but that incurs an expense that could be nothing to very expensive pending usage.  I was hoping Telerik Map component would be my solution, but finding some limitation.

Thoughts?

Hi Rob,

Yes, routing is not very popular in our customer base at this point. It's also important to note that routing depends on a lot more information, which the Map doesn't inherently have and will require if we decide to support the feature. And this information (e.g. roads or even traffic) may be paid too.
