How to create routes with custom avoidance of several potential items

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

Potential use cases

• Calculate routes with custom avoidance: Customize routes with avoidance for better routes and commute planning.

Examples

Use CalculateRoutes with avoidance of tolls, u-turns, ferries, highways, tunnels and more.
