<a name="calculate-routes-origin-destination-waypoints"></a>

The CalculateRoutes API helps you find the best routes between origin and destination, as well as the best opportunities for driver resting. It supports travel modes such as truck, pedestrian, car and scooter. It also supports up to 25 waypoints (stopovers) including the origin and destination with only a few constraints.

## Potential use cases
