The article states the directions are calculated by the Apple Maps engine.
- lucb1e 6y agoWhere? When I look(ed) for it, all it says is > like our embedded maps, powered by Apple's MapKit JS framework The JavaScript framework they use is not necessarily the same as the server-side routing engine. One can overlay data (like the path to drive and turns to take) with any mapping library like google, leaflet, etc.
