Task executer's path record within a map (GIS)

Hello, I want to know if there is any way to obtain the record that a task executer has within a GIS map, this in order to obtain the total cost of the use of a vehicle in several routes and even graph it.

I am attaching a test model where I have been working.

maps3.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.2.3

routing map gismapintegration

GIS Point objects have some function_s() commands that will calculate the distance, duration, or cost to get to another point:

treenode point1 = Model.find("GISNavigator/Point1");
treenode point2 = Model.find("GISNavigator/Point2");
double distance = function_s(point1, "getDistance", point2);
double duration = function_s(point1, "getDuration", point2);
double routingCost = function_s(point1, "getCost", point2);
return [distance, duration, routingCost];

You can also use the distancetotravel() command to get the distance from a task executer to a destination, such as from the truck to a queue:

treenode truck = Model.find("Truck1");
treenode destination = Model.find("Queue2");
double distance = distancetotravel(truck, destination);
return distance;

The task executer also automatically tracks its total travel distance, so you can simply add charts that graph that stat to a dashboard without any custom data collection:
