NavigationSettings

public class NavigationSettings

Global settings that are used across the SDK for altering navigation behavior.

Some properties listed in StoredProperty are stored in UserDefaults.standard.

To specify criteria when calculating routes, use the NavigationRouteOptions class.

To customize the user experience during a particular turn-by-turn navigation session, use the NavigationOptions class when initializing a NavigationViewController.

To customize some global defaults use NavigationSettings.initialize(directions:tileStoreConfiguration:routingProviderSource:alternativeRouteDetectionStrategy:utilizeSensorData:navigatorPredictionInterval:liveIncidentsOptions:statusUpdatingSettings:) method.

  • Default Directions instance. By default, Directions.shared is used.

    You can override this property by using NavigationSettings.initialize(directions:tileStoreConfiguration:navigationRouterType:alternativeRouteDetectionStrategy:utilizeSensorData:navigatorPredictionInterval:liveIncidentsOptions:statusUpdatingSettings:) method.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var directions: Directions { get }
  • Global TileStoreConfiguration instance.

    You can override this property by using NavigationSettings.initialize(directions:tileStoreConfiguration:navigationRouterType:alternativeRouteDetectionStrategy:utilizeSensorData:navigatorPredictionInterval:liveIncidentsOptions:statusUpdatingSettings:) method.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var tileStoreConfiguration: TileStoreConfiguration { get }
  • You can override this property by using NavigationSettings.initialize(directions:tileStoreConfiguration:navigationRouterType:alternativeRouteDetectionStrategy:utilizeSensorData:navigatorPredictionInterval:liveIncidentsOptions:statusUpdatingSettings:) method.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var routingProviderSource: RoutingProviderSource { get }
  • Configuration on how AlternativeRoutes will be detected during navigation process.

    You can override this property by using NavigationSettings.initialize(directions:tileStoreConfiguration:navigationRouterType:alternativeRouteDetectionStrategy:utilizeSensorData:navigatorPredictionInterval:liveIncidentsOptions:statusUpdatingSettings:) method.

    If set to nil, the detection is turned off.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var alternativeRouteDetectionStrategy: AlternativeRouteDetectionStrategy? { get }
  • Enables analyzing data from sensors for better location prediction in case of a weak GPS signal, for example in tunnel.

    Usage of sensors can increase battery consumption. Disabled by default.

    Important

    Don’t enable sensors if you emulate location updates. The SDK ignores location updates which don’t match data from sensors.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var utilizeSensorData: Bool { get }
  • Defines approximate navigator prediction between location ticks.

    Due to discrete location updates, Navigator always operates data “in the past” so it has to make prediction about user’s current real position. This interval controls how far ahead Navigator will try to predict user location.

    If not specified (nilled), default value will be used.

    You can override this property by using NavigationSettings.initialize(directions:tileStoreConfiguration:navigationRouterType:alternativeRouteDetectionStrategy:utilizeSensorData:navigatorPredictionInterval:liveIncidentsOptions:statusUpdatingSettings:) method.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var navigatorPredictionInterval: TimeInterval? { get }
  • Configuration on how live incidents on a most probable path are detected.

    You can override this property by using NavigationSettings.initialize(directions:tileStoreConfiguration:navigationRouterType:alternativeRouteDetectionStrategy:utilizeSensorData:navigatorPredictionInterval:liveIncidentsOptions:statusUpdatingSettings:) method.

    If set to nil, live incidents are turned off (by default).

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var liveIncidentsOptions: IncidentsOptions? { get }
  • Configuration on how navigator status is polled.

    You can override this property by using NavigationSettings.initialize(directions:tileStoreConfiguration:navigationRouterType:alternativeRouteDetectionStrategy:utilizeSensorData:navigatorPredictionInterval:liveIncidentsOptions:statusUpdatingSettings:) method.

    If set to nil, default settings will be applied

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var statusUpdatingSettings: StatusUpdatingSettings? { get }
  • Initializes the settings with custom instances of globally used types.

    If you don’t provide custom values, they will be initialized with the defaults.

    Important

    If you want to use this method, it should be the first method you use from Navigation SDK. Not doing so will lead to undefined behavior.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func initialize(directions: Directions,
                           tileStoreConfiguration: TileStoreConfiguration,
                           routingProviderSource: RoutingProviderSource = .hybrid,
                           alternativeRouteDetectionStrategy: AlternativeRouteDetectionStrategy? = .init(),
                           utilizeSensorData: Bool = false,
                           navigatorPredictionInterval: TimeInterval? = nil,
                           liveIncidentsOptions: IncidentsOptions? = nil,
                           statusUpdatingSettings: StatusUpdatingSettings? = nil)

    Parameters

    directions

    Default Directions instance. Some types allow you to customize the directions instance and fall back to the NavigationSettings.directions by default.

    tileStoreConfiguration

    Options for configuring how map and navigation tiles are stored on the device. See TileStoreConfiguration for more details.

    routingProviderSource

    Configures the type of routing to be used by various SDK objects when providing route calculations. Use this value to configure usage of onlive vs. offline data for routing.

    alternativeRouteDetectionStrategy

    Configures how AlternativeRoutes will be detected during navigation process.

    utilizeSensorData

    Enables using sensors data to improve positioning.

    navigatorPredictionInterval

    Defines approximate navigator prediction between location ticks.

    liveIncidentsOptions

    Configures Electronic Horizon live incidents.

  • The volume that the voice controller will use.

    This volume is relative to the system’s volume where 1.0 is same volume as the system.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public dynamic var voiceVolume: Float { get set }
  • Specifies whether to mute the voice controller or not.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public dynamic var voiceMuted: Bool { get set }
  • Specifies the preferred distance measurement unit. Meters and feet will be used when the presented distances are small enough. See DistanceFormatter for more information.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public dynamic var distanceUnit: LengthFormatter.Unit { get set }
  • The shared navigation settings object that affects the entire application.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public static let shared: NavigationSettings
