# DirectionsResponse.Step

An object that represents a step along a route.

## Declaration

```data
object DirectionsResponse.Step
```

## Properties

distanceMeters: Total distance covered by the step, in meters. durationSeconds: The estimated time to traverse this step, in seconds. instructions: The localized instruction string for this step that you can use for display purposes. You can specify the language to receive the response in using the lang parameter. stepPathIndex: A pointer to this step’s path. The pointer is in the form of an index into the stepPaths array contained in a Route. Step paths are self-contained which implies that the last point of a previous step path along a route is the same as the first point of the next step path. Clients are responsible for avoiding duplication when rendering the point. transportType: A string that indicates the transport type for this step if it’s different from the transportType in the route.
