Minimal reproducer

Using this test case

    public void runApp() {
        Form form = new Form("Route Test", new BorderLayout());
        MapView map = new MapView();
        form.add(BorderLayout.CENTER, map);
        Label label = new Label();
        form.add(BorderLayout.SOUTH, label);

        LatLng origin = new LatLng(37.423, -122.091);
        LatLng destination = new LatLng(38.8936904, -77.179282);

        RouteRequest request = new RouteRequest(origin, destination)
                .setTravelMode(TravelMode.DRIVING);
        Routing.findRoute(request, new RouteCallback() {
            @Override
            public void routesFound(java.util.List routes) {
                Route best = (Route) routes.get(0);
                //Log.p("Route: " + best); //Route{25247.9m, 1785.8s, 684 point(s)}
                map.addPolyline(best.toPolyline().setStrokeColor(0xff5722).setStrokeWidth(16));
                map.fitBounds(best.getBounds(), CN.convertToPixels(4));
                label.setText((int) (best.getDistanceMeters() / 1000) + " km, "
                        + (int) (best.getDurationSeconds() / 60) + " min");
                form.revalidate();
            }

            @Override
            public void routeFailed(String message, Throwable error) {
                label.setText(message);
                form.revalidate();
            }
        });
        form.show();
    }
