The second step in the shortest-route technique involves finding the next-nearest node to the origin and marking the distance to this node, after initially identifying the nearest node and its distance. This process is iterative, moving from the nearest to the next-nearest nodes, ensuring the path determined is the shortest possible from the origin to the destination.
