# MKRoute.Step

One portion of an overall route.

## Declaration

```swift
class Step
```

## Overview

Overview Each MKRoute.Step object corresponds to a single instruction that the person needs to follow when navigating between two points. For example, a step might involve following a single road until continuing along the route requires a turn. You don’t create instances of this class directly. An MKRoute object contains the MKRoute.Step objects associated with a route. For more information about requesting directions, see MKDirections.
