Directions Data Response
This array represents a route or a potential set of alternate routes between 2 or more
locations. Output is available in either imperial or metric units.
Properties
distance floatThe total calculated distance of this route. (Units: Feet or meters)
time integer
The total calculated time to traverse this route, given the speed provided in the
query. (Units: Hours)
polyline array of objectsAn array of PolylinePoint
objects that can be rendered as a route or trajectory in a map display. This is an array
of GPS coordinates represented by latitude and longitude points.
forecastPoints array of objectsAn array of DirectionPoint
objects that represent a calculated set of points along the route. These can be used for
weather forecasting or other time-distributed logic. The points are calculated based
on the generated route and the speed provided in the query. Points are generated roughly
(but not precisely) corresponding to one hour of travel time.
