# Use `CalculateRoute` with an AWS SDK
<a name="location_example_location_CalculateRoute_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `CalculateRoute`.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:
