Route Finder Web Service v2006

You can generate driving directions between multiple locations with Route Finder Web Service. This Web service accepts x,y coordinate inputs for two or more locations, along with routing preferences, and returns a route map and textual driving directions for the suggested route. Your route can also include turn-by-turn maps, traffic hazards, and "traveling salesperson routing" (optimizing the order of your route stop midpoints).

Route Finder Web Service allows you to perform the following functions:

• Create list of coordinate pairs for start, end, and midpoints for a route
• Specify description for points of a route
• Specify returned route as textual driving directions, map image, turn-by-turn maps, or a combination
• Determine whether to avoid traffic delays or other hazards
• Determine if the geometry is returned
• Customize the look of the route
• Choose the language of the driving directions
• Request traveling salesperson routing where your mid-point route stops are arranged in the most optimal order
