Is it necessary to initialize a new bundle for the directions fragment?

Can you just use the existing bundle and set it as the argument for the directionsFragment?

Hi! I know it's been two months since you asked this question, but I figured I'd answer it in case anyone else was wondering the same thing.

Yes, you're right! At this point, you don't need to initialize a new bundle. In the video after this, however, Ben makes a refactoring where you need to use two bundles, or at least clear it first. In the second refactoring however, Ben removes that change, and brings it back to square one when it comes to the bundle's arguments. So yes, you're absolutely right, there is no need to re-initialize the Bundle :)

Although it was 2 months late, thanks for posting. I had that exact same question
