# Positions not located on a road in Amazon Location
<a name="snap-to-nearby-road"></a>

When using `CalculateRoute` or `CalculateRouteMatrix`, if you specify a departure, destination, or waypoint position that's not located on a road Amazon Location moves the position to a nearby road.

The following `[CalculateRoute](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/location-routes/latest/APIReference/API_CalculateRoute.html)` request specifies a departure position and destination position that's not located on a road:

```
POST /routes/v0/calculators/ExampleCalculator/calculate/route
Content-type: application/json
{
   "DeparturePosition": [-123.128014, 49.298472],
   "DestinationPosition": [-123.134701, 49. 294315]
}
```

The resulting response returns a position that's snapped to a nearby road:
