If you specify a new tag key for the resource, this tag is appended to the tags already associated with the resource. If you specify a tag key that is already associated with the resource, the new tag value that you specify replaces the previous value for that tag. </p> <p>You can associate as many as 50 tags with a resource.</p>

CalculateRoute (new) Link ¶

Calculates a route given the following required parameters: DeparturePostiton and DestinationPosition . Requires that you first create aroute calculator resource

By default, a request that doesn't specify a departure time uses the best time of day to travel with the best traffic conditions when calculating the route.

Additional options include:

  • Specifying a departure time using either DepartureTime or DepartureNow . This calculates a route based on predictive traffic data at the given time.

Note

You can't specify both DepartureTime and DepartureNow in a single request. Specifying both parameters returns an error message.

  • Specifying a travel mode using TravelMode. This lets you specify additional route preference such as CarModeOptions if traveling by Car , or TruckModeOptions if traveling by Truck .
