Routes and Directions
Simple, accurate routing from A to B with the Routing API
Azure Maps offers map routing for cars, trucks, and pedestrians, helping you find efficient routes that take into account traffic and local restrictions. Travel quickly and efficiently with route optimization, powered by global geospatial data.
Accurate. Reliable. Scalable.
Revolutionize the way you navigate. Whether you're planning delivery routes, optimizing travel times, or enhancing user experiences with route planners. Azure Maps API offers a suite of powerful features to meet your needs.
Multi-modal customization
Accommodate different modes of transportation seamlessly, whether it's driving, walking, biking, or public transit, giving users flexibility and choice in their journey planning. Tailor routing preferences to match your specific requirements, including preferences for highways, toll roads, scenic routes, and more.
Powerful geospatial intelligence
Stay informed about changing road conditions, traffic incidents, and construction zones with historical traffic data. Leverage the power of Azure Maps' geospatial intelligence to optimize routing based on factors such as weather conditions, points of interest, and historical traffic patterns, maximizing efficiency and reliability.
Routing API
Connect your origin and destination with accurate location data.
Directions
Azure Maps provides accurate route and direction services for all your navigational needs. Using this API, your map routing software can calculate the best route based on a single origin and destination. You can specify the conditions on the route that you want to take. With historical traffic data, you’ll get the fastest route no matter where you want to go.
Truck Routing
Truck routing in urban areas can be complex and challenging. Azure Maps simplifies route optimization for trucks by using the Routing API to find the best route for your loads, taking certain restrictions into account, such as your vehicle’s height, weight, width, and cargo type.
Route Matrix and Route Range
From ensuring the fastest response for emergencies to dispatching technicians to customer service calls, Azure Maps Routing API users can use Route Matrix to analyze several route and direction variables to identify the best available resources to send to specific locations. Additionally, the Route Range can be used to determine the distance from a single point that a user can reach based on time and available energy.
EV Data
The increase in the use of EV vehicles in fleets and for personal use increases the need for accurate map routing data on vehicle ranges and EV charging points. EV data helps visualize and inform journey plans on any route you create using our Routing APIs.
