How do I navigate using a local ORS

Hello,
I have a locally-hosted OpenRouteService but cant find a way to navigate using it in AppInventor. Any help would be appreciated.

I already have it running, but I want to navigate using it in AppInventor

Using App Inventor (but without local hosting) a developer would do this HOW TO: Use the Navigate control .

You need to use the ORS API to communicate with your server. Might be possible with the WebViewer and Web controls.

Is there an existing post/tutorial/method for a WebView or would I have to program something from scratch?

Open Route Service is not on our list, but you can use one of the samples on our list to convert curl commands to Web component blocks.

Post your success here so we can add yours to the collection.
