Description

With the Routes API you can calculate routes and estimate travel time based on up-to-date road network and live traffic information. Key features include:

  • Point-to-point routing with estimated travel time, distance, and turn-by-turn directions. See CalculateRoutes .
  • Multi-point route optimization to minimize travel time or distance. See OptimizeWaypoints .
  • Route matrices for efficient multi-destination planning. See CalculateRouteMatrix .
  • Isoline calculations to determine reachable areas within specified time or distance thresholds. See CalculateIsolines .
  • Map-matching to align GPS traces with the road network. See SnapToRoads .
