Discover the Power of the Google Maps Routes APIs
The Routes product suite from the Google Maps Platform consists of various smart APIs and SDKs specifically designed for every logistics and mobility challenge:
1. Compute Routes: The Smart Foundation for Route Planning
This is the bedrock of modern routing applications. Provide your users with highly accurate directions and estimated times of arrival (ETAs) based on real-time and historical traffic information.
- Effortlessly supports various modes of transport: driving, transit, cycling, and walking.
- Instantly provides alternative routes and eco-friendly (sustainable) routing options.
2. Compute Route Matrix: Calculate Travel Times at Lightning Speed
Ideal for delivery services, taxi apps, and on-demand logistics. Calculate travel times and distances between dozens of origins and destinations in just a single API call.
- Process up to 625 route elements simultaneously.
- Instantly find the nearest driver or optimize the dispatching of your couriers.
3. Route Optimization: Save Time and Operational Costs
Maximize your delivery efficiency by intelligently planning routes with multiple stops.
- Single Vehicle Routing: Automatically determine the most logical sequence of tasks for one specific vehicle
- Fleet Routing: Solve complex capacity issues for your entire fleet. Effortlessly account for tight delivery windows, vehicle capacity, and specific restrictions.
4. Roads API: Accurate Representation of Trips
Make raw GPS data perfectly workable and analyze traveled paths with the highest precision on the map.
- Nearest Road: Snap inaccurate GPS coordinates directly to the exact road segment (snap-to-road).
- Route Traveled: Determine exactly which route a vehicle took after the fact. Essential for accurate mileage registration, analysis, and invoicing.
5. Navigation SDK: Your Own In-App Navigation
Keep your users or drivers entirely within your own ecosystem. With a Navigation Request via the Navigation SDK, you integrate the familiar Google Maps turn-by-turn navigation directly into your own iOS or Android app.
- Fully customizable to match your brand identity (custom styling).
- Share real-time location updates of drivers directly with the end customer, so they know exactly when their package will arrive.
