Requesting a Venue Route
A user wants to find their way around a venue and get the best route from A to B. The might be on foot, navigating the venue with their smartphone or driving though the car park with the aid of their navigation system.
Request
A typical request to the routing service would look like this:
https://indoor-routing.venue.maps.api.here.com/venues/routing/v1
?app_id={YOUR_APP_ID}
&app_code={YOUR_APP_CODE}
&waypoint0=geo!52.52036235819847,13.419705296325674,0&waypoint1=geo!52.51824714580289,13.41655101852416,0&venueRouteOptions=fastest&mode=fastest;car
This request generates a route from inside a venue to a point outside the venue. The option fastest relates to both the indoor and outdoor segments. Additionally, the option car affects the outside part. As a result, the generated route consists of a pedestrian route inside the venue and a car route outside the venue.
IMPORTANT! Venue Maps routing uses an API feature called Matrix Routing. Matrix routing is part of Advanced features, and you need a suitable license to use this feature.
