Request a Truck Route
To calculate directions for trucks between two locations using the calculateroute
service, include in the request the following:
- your authentication credentials,
apiKey
orapp_id
andapp_code
if you are using the app_id/app_code authentication (see the Identity & Access Management Developer Guide) - the start (
waypoint0
) and destination (waypoint1
in case of no intermediate location) waypoints -
fastest;truck
for routingmode
and indication whether to optimize the routing for traffic conditions or not - and truck profile parameters (see Truck Profile)
This example requests a route for a truck
that weighs 30.5 tons, is 4.25 meters high and has a cargo that is harmful to water. The route uses a speed profile for heavy trucks and is not optimized for current traffic conditions. Waypoints are specified by latitude and longitude using the geo!
string value.
