Subscribe to navigation updates
When you have obtained a navigation id through the startNavigation mutation, you can start a navigation subscription to get the turn-by-turn instructions and other subscription details. As the vehicle is approaching a charge station, a lot can happen. Therefore, we recommend subscribing to a navigation session to push updates to the navigation app when necessary. Updates can be triggered, for example, when all connectors are occupied at the planned charge stop or if the end-user takes a wrong exit. In both cases, a reroute will be triggered.
By subscribing to a navigation session, updates are pushed to the navigation app when necessary.
Subscription
The subscription service needs to be initiated with a navigation ID. From there on it will start a navigation session and provide you with updates.
Listen to the route id
When starting the subscription always include the route_id field. Whenever this value changes the navigation application needs to re-render the polyline. This id is updated when, for example, a wrong exit is taken and the recalculateNavigation mutation is called.
Supported turn-by-turn providers
The instructions field accepts three field arguments. The instructions_format accepts two values: MapboxV5 which returns the turn-by-turn instructions mapped for the latest Mapbox SDK and Chargetrip which can be used to map the instructions to a mapping provider that we do not yet officially support. Official support for more providers is on its way. The language argument currently accepts English and precision will encode the polyline with coordinates that either have 5 or 6 decimals.
For more information about upcoming providers and languages get in touch!
