Cannot set Source & Destination for MKDirectionsRequest in Swift 2.0

When trying to use MKDrectionsRequest in Swift 2.0, I get the error:

'Value of type 'MKDirectionsRequest' as no member 'setSource'

My code looks like this:

let myRouteRequest = MKDirectionsRequest()
myrouteRequest.transportType = .Automobile
myRouteRequest.setSource(MKMapItem.mapItemForCurrentLocation())
myRouteRequest.setDestination(MKMapItem(myPlacemark))

FYI: I don't even need the actual directions, just the estimated driving time and distance so if there is another way to get that please let me know. Thank you.

You'd need to assign those values to MKDirectionsRequest's source property:

myRouteRequest.source = MKMapItem.mapItemForCurrentLocation()

The same applies for destination:

myRouteRequest.destination = MKMapItem(placemark: myPlacemark)

In addition, you have a typo here:

myrouteRequest.transportType = .Automobile

as it should be:

myRouteRequest.transportType = .Automobile 
//Capital "R" is probably what you wanted to mean.

As for getting the estimated travel time and distance:

We'd need to first create a directions' request:

let directions = MKDirections(request: myRouteRequest)

directions.calculateDirectionsWithCompletionHandler
{
    (response, error) -> Void in

    if let routes = response?.routes where response?.routes.count > 0 && error == nil
    {
        let route : MKRoute = routes[0]

        //distance calculated from the request
        print(route.distance) 

        //travel time calculated from the request
        print(route.expectedTravelTime)
    }
}
