How to calculate route matrix with avoidance

The CalculateRouteMatrix API computes routes and returns travel time and distance from each origin to each destination in the specified lists. The API can be used to set avoidance options for specific areas or road features, ensuring routes avoid specified zones or conditions. If an alternative route is not feasible, the avoidance preference may be bypassed.

Potential use cases

• Route planning and optimization: Use route matrix as input for software that requires optimized travel routes while avoiding certain areas or road features.
