Type: Double  
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0.  
Required: Yes

 ** DurationSeconds **   <a name="location-Type-Step-DurationSeconds"></a>
The estimated travel time, in seconds, from the step's `StartPosition` to the `EndPosition`. . The travel mode and departure time that you specify in the request determines the calculated time.  
Type: Double  
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0.
