# RouteStep

A single step of the route between the requested start and end points.

## Declaration

```data
class RouteStep
```

## Overview

Overview A RouteStep encapsulates information for an individual segment of a route. A Route object’s steps property is an array of RouteStep objects. You don’t instantiate RouteStep objects directly; MapKit JS returns them as part of the DirectionsResponse.
