how do I use mapkit to show a route?

To show a route using MapKit, you can follow the steps outlined in the session "Unlock the power of places with MapKit" from WWDC 2024. Here are the key points:

1. Initialize MapKit: Start by initializing MapKit in your app or website. For web applications, you can use MapKit JS.

2. Create a Map: Construct a new map centered around the place you want to show. You can use the annotateplace function to add annotations to the map.

3. Add Annotations: Use place annotations to mark specific locations on the map. This can be done by leveraging the Place ID to reference places.

4. Display Place Details: Use the MapItem detail API to present detailed information about the places on the map. This can be done even if your app or website doesn't feature a map view.

5. Search for Places: Use the search APIs to find places within a specific region. You can restrict your search to a specific area and use region priority to limit the results to the desired region.

For a detailed walkthrough, you can refer to the session chapters:

• Reference a place
• Display place details
• Find a place

These chapters will provide you with the necessary information to implement route display using MapKit.
