google.maps.DirectionsService class

A service for computing directions between two or more places.

Access by calling const {DirectionsService} = await google.maps.importLibrary("routes").
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

DirectionsService()

Parameters:  None

Creates a new instance of a DirectionsService that sends directions queries to Google servers.

google.maps.DirectionsRequest interface

A directions query to be sent to the DirectionsService.

Location of destination. This can be specified as either a string to be geocoded, or a LatLng, or a Place. Required.

Location of origin. This can be specified as either a string to be geocoded, or a LatLng, or a Place. Required.

Type of routing requested. Required.

Type:  boolean optional

If true, instructs the Directions service to avoid ferries where possible. Optional.

Type:  boolean optional

If true, instructs the Directions service to avoid highways where possible. Optional.

Type:  boolean optional

If true, instructs the Directions service to avoid toll roads where possible. Optional.

Settings that apply only to requests where travelMode is DRIVING. This object will have no effect for other travel modes.

Type:  string optional

A language identifier for the language in which results should be returned, when possible. See the

.

Type:  boolean optional

If set to true, the DirectionsService will attempt to re-order the supplied intermediate waypoints to minimize overall cost of the route. If waypoints are optimized, inspect DirectionsRoute.waypoint_order in the response to determine the new ordering.

Type:  boolean optional

Whether or not route alternatives should be provided. Optional.

Type:  string optional

Region code used as a bias for geocoding requests. The region code accepts a

two-character value. Most ccTLD codes are identical to ISO 3166-1 codes, with some notable exceptions. For example, the United Kingdom's ccTLD is "uk" (

) while its ISO 3166-1 code is "gb" (technically for the entity of "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland").

Settings that apply only to requests where travelMode is TRANSIT. This object will have no effect for other travel modes.

Default: The unit system used in the country of origin.

Preferred unit system to use when displaying distance.

Array of intermediate waypoints. Directions are calculated from the origin to the destination by way of each waypoint in this array. See the

for the maximum number of waypoints allowed. Waypoints are not supported for transit directions. Optional.

google.maps.DirectionsStatus constants

The status returned by the DirectionsService on the completion of a call to route(). Specify these by value, or by using the constant's name. For example, 'OK' or google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK.

Access by calling const {DirectionsStatus} = await google.maps.importLibrary("routes").
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

google.maps.DirectionsResult interface

The directions response retrieved from the directions server. You can render these using a DirectionsRenderer or parse this object and render it yourself. You must display the warnings and copyrights as noted in the Google Maps Platform Terms of Service. Note that though this result is "JSON-like," it is not strictly JSON, as it indirectly includes LatLng objects.

The DirectionsRequest that yielded this result.

An array of DirectionsRoutes, each of which contains information about the legs and steps of which it is composed. There will only be one route unless the DirectionsRequest was made with provideRouteAlternatives set to true.

Contains an array of available travel modes. This field is returned when a request specifies a travel mode and gets no results. The array contains the available travel modes in the countries of the given set of waypoints. This field is not returned if one or more of the waypoints are 'via waypoints'.

An array of DirectionsGeocodedWaypoints, each of which contains information about the geocoding of origin, destination and waypoints.

google.maps.DirectionsRenderer class

Renders directions obtained from the DirectionsService.

This class extends MVCObject.

Access by calling const {DirectionsRenderer} = await google.maps.importLibrary("routes").
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

DirectionsRenderer([opts])

• opts:  DirectionsRendererOptions optional

Creates the renderer with the given options. Directions can be rendered on a map (as visual overlays) or additionally on a <div> panel (as textual instructions).

getDirections()

Parameters:  None

Returns the renderer's current set of directions.

getMap()

Parameters:  None

Returns the map on which the DirectionsResult is rendered.

getPanel()

Parameters:  None

Returns the panel <div> in which the DirectionsResult is rendered.

getRouteIndex()

Parameters:  None

Return Value:  number

Returns the current (zero-based) route index in use by this DirectionsRenderer object.

setDirections(directions)

• directions:  DirectionsResult

Return Value:  None

Set the renderer to use the result from the DirectionsService. Setting a valid set of directions in this manner will display the directions on the renderer's designated map and panel.

setMap(map)

• map:  Map

Return Value:  None

This method specifies the map on which directions will be rendered. Pass null to remove the directions from the map.

setOptions(options)

• options:  DirectionsRendererOptions

Return Value:  None

Change the options settings of this DirectionsRenderer after initialization.

setPanel(panel)

• panel:  HTMLElement optional

Return Value:  None

This method renders the directions in a <div>. Pass null to remove the content from the panel.

setRouteIndex(routeIndex)

• routeIndex:  number

Return Value:  None

Set the (zero-based) index of the route in the DirectionsResult object to render. By default, the first route in the array will be rendered.

function()

Arguments:  None

This event is fired when the rendered directions change, either when a new DirectionsResult is set or when the user finishes dragging a change to the directions path.

google.maps.DirectionsRendererOptions interface

This object defines the properties that can be set on a DirectionsRenderer object.

The directions to display on the map and/or in a <div> panel, retrieved as a DirectionsResult object from DirectionsService.

Type:  boolean optional

If true, allows the user to drag and modify the paths of routes rendered by this DirectionsRenderer.

Type:  boolean optional

Default: false

This property indicates whether the renderer should provide a user-selectable list of routes shown in the directions panel.

The InfoWindow in which to render text information when a marker is clicked. Existing info window content will be overwritten and its position moved. If no info window is specified, the DirectionsRenderer will create and use its own info window. This property will be ignored if suppressInfoWindows is set to true.

Map on which to display the directions.

Options for the markers. All markers rendered by the DirectionsRenderer will use these options.

The <div> in which to display the directions steps.

Options for the polylines. All polylines rendered by the DirectionsRenderer will use these options.

Type:  boolean optional

Default: false

If this option is set to true or the map's center and zoom were never set, the input map is centered and zoomed to the bounding box of this set of directions.

Type:  number optional

The index of the route within the DirectionsResult object. The default value is 0.

Type:  boolean optional

Suppress the rendering of the BicyclingLayer when bicycling directions are requested.

Type:  boolean optional

Suppress the rendering of info windows.

Type:  boolean optional

Suppress the rendering of markers.

Type:  boolean optional

Suppress the rendering of polylines.

google.maps.DirectionsWaypoint interface

A DirectionsWaypoint represents a location between origin and destination through which the trip should be routed.

Waypoint location. Can be an address string, a LatLng, or a Place. Optional.

Type:  boolean optional

Default: true

If true, indicates that this waypoint is a stop between the origin and destination. This has the effect of splitting the route into two legs. If false, indicates that the route should be biased to go through this waypoint, but not split into two legs. This is useful if you want to create a route in response to the user dragging waypoints on a map.

google.maps.DirectionsGeocodedWaypoint interface

A single geocoded waypoint.

Type:  boolean optional

Whether the geocoder did not return an exact match for the original waypoint, though it was able to match part of the requested address.

Type:  string optional

The place ID associated with the waypoint. Place IDs uniquely identify a place in the Google Places database and on Google Maps. Learn more about

in the Places API developer guide.

An array of strings denoting the type of the returned geocoded element. For a list of possible strings, refer to the

section of the Developer's Guide.

google.maps.DirectionsRoute interface

A single route containing a set of legs in a DirectionsResult. Note that though this object is "JSON-like," it is not strictly JSON, as it directly and indirectly includes LatLng objects.

The bounds for this route.

Type:  string

Copyrights text to be displayed for this route.

An array of DirectionsLegs, each of which contains information about the steps of which it is composed. There will be one leg for each stopover waypoint or destination specified. So a route with no stopover waypoints will contain one DirectionsLeg and a route with one stopover waypoint will contain two.

An array of LatLngs representing the entire course of this route. The path is simplified in order to make it suitable in contexts where a small number of vertices is required (such as Static Maps API URLs).

Type:  string

An

of the route in overview_path. This polyline is an approximate (smoothed) path of the resulting directions.

Type:  string

Contains a short textual description for the route, suitable for naming and disambiguating the route from alternatives.

Warnings to be displayed when showing these directions.

If optimizeWaypoints was set to true, this field will contain the re-ordered permutation of the input waypoints. For example, if the input was:
  Origin: Los Angeles
  Waypoints: Dallas, Bangor, Phoenix
  Destination: New York
and the optimized output was ordered as follows:
  Origin: Los Angeles
  Waypoints: Phoenix, Dallas, Bangor
  Destination: New York
then this field will be an Array containing the values [2, 0, 1]. Note that the numbering of waypoints is zero-based.
If any of the input waypoints has stopover set to false, this field will be empty, since route optimization is not available for such queries.

The total fare for the whole transit trip. Only applicable to transit requests.

google.maps.DirectionsLeg interface

A single leg consisting of a set of steps in a DirectionsResult. Some fields in the leg may not be returned for all requests. Note that though this result is "JSON-like," it is not strictly JSON, as it directly and indirectly includes LatLng objects.

Type:  string

The address of the destination of this leg. This content is meant to be read as-is. Do not programmatically parse the formatted address.

The DirectionsService calculates directions between locations by using the nearest transportation option (usually a road) at the start and end locations. end_location indicates the actual geocoded destination, which may be different than the end_location of the last step if, for example, the road is not near the destination of this leg.

Type:  string

The address of the origin of this leg. This content is meant to be read as-is. Do not programmatically parse the formatted address.

The DirectionsService calculates directions between locations by using the nearest transportation option (usually a road) at the start and end locations. start_location indicates the actual geocoded origin, which may be different than the start_location of the first step if, for example, the road is not near the origin of this leg.

An array of DirectionsSteps, each of which contains information about the individual steps in this leg.

Deprecated: This array will always be empty.

Information about traffic speed along the leg.

An array of non-stopover waypoints along this leg, which were specified in the original request.

Deprecated in alternative routes. Version 3.27 will be the last version of the API that adds extra via_waypoints in alternative routes.

When using the Directions Service to implement draggable directions, it is recommended to disable dragging of alternative routes. Only the main route should be draggable. Users can drag the main route until it matches an alternative route.

An estimated arrival time for this leg. Only applicable for TRANSIT requests.

An estimated departure time for this leg. Only applicable for TRANSIT requests.

The total distance covered by this leg. This property may be undefined as the distance may be unknown.

The total duration of this leg. This property may be undefined as the duration may be unknown.

The total duration of this leg, taking into account the traffic conditions indicated by the trafficModel property. This property may be undefined as the duration may be unknown.

google.maps.DirectionsStep interface

A single DirectionsStep in a DirectionsResult. Some fields may be undefined. Note that though this object is "JSON-like," it is not strictly JSON, as it directly includes LatLng objects.

google.maps.Place interface

Contains information needed to locate, identify, or describe a place for a DirectionsRequest or DistanceMatrixRequest. In this context, "place" means a business, point of interest, or geographic location. For fetching information about a place, see PlacesService.

The LatLng of the entity described by this place.

Type:  string optional

The place ID of the place (such as a business or point of interest). The place ID is a unique identifier of a place in the Google Maps database. Note that the

is the most accurate way of identifying a place. If possible, you should specify the

rather than a

. A place ID can be retrieved from any request to the Places API, such as a

. Place IDs can also be retrieved from requests to the Geocoding API. For more information, see the

.

Type:  string optional

A search query describing the place (such as a business or point of interest). An example query is "Quay, Upper Level, Overseas Passenger Terminal 5 Hickson Road, The Rocks NSW". If possible, you should specify the placeId rather than a query. The API does not guarantee the accuracy of resolving the query string to a place. If both the placeId and query are provided, an error occurs.

google.maps.TravelMode constants

See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

google.maps.TransitOptions interface

The TransitOptions object to be included in a DirectionsRequest when the travel mode is set to TRANSIT.

The desired arrival time for the route, specified as a Date object. The Date object measures time in milliseconds since 1 January 1970. If arrival time is specified, departure time is ignored.

The desired departure time for the route, specified as a Date object. The Date object measures time in milliseconds since 1 January 1970. If neither departure time nor arrival time is specified, the time is assumed to be "now".

One or more preferred modes of transit, such as bus or train. If no preference is given, the API returns the default best route.

A preference that can bias the choice of transit route, such as less walking. If no preference is given, the API returns the default best route.
