Compute Routes is a method in the Routes API service that accepts an HTTPS request and returns the ideal route between two locations. Provide directions with real-time traffic for transit, biking, driving, 2-wheel motorized vehicles, or walking between multiple locations.

Need Route Matrixes? If you are interested in a route matrix, see Compute Route Matrix Overview.

Migrating? If you are migrating from the Distance Matrix API (Legacy), see migration instructions starting with Why migrate to the Routes API.

With Compute Routes, with a wide range of route details you can route your vehicles or packages according to your preferences while optimizing for cost and quality.

With the Routes API Compute Routes method, you can do the following things:

• Get directions for different ways to travel, and for a single or multiple destinations:

  • Modes of transportation: transit, driving, two-wheel vehicles, walking, or bicycling.

  • A series of waypoints that you can optimize for the most efficient order in which to travel to them.

• Use multiple ways to specify origins, destinations, and waypoints:

  • Text strings. For example: "Chicago, IL", "Darwin, NT, Australia", "1800 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043", or "CWF6+FWX Mountain View, California"

  • Place IDs

  • Latitude and longitude coordinates, optionally with vehicle heading

• Fine-tune your route options based on your needs and goals:

  • Select fuel or energy-efficient routes for your vehicle's engine type: Diesel, Electric, Hybrid, Gas. For more information, see Get an eco-friendly route.

  • Set fine-grained options for traffic calculation, letting you make quality versus latency trade off decisions. For details, see Specify how and if to include traffic data.

  • Set vehicle heading (direction of travel) and side-of-road information for waypoints to increase ETA accuracy. For details, see Specify vehicle heading and side of road.

  • Specify pass-through versus terminal locations and safe stopover locations. For details, see Set a stop along a route and Set a point for a route to pass through.

  • Request toll information, along with route distance and ETA. For details, see Calculate toll fees for a route.

• Control your latency and quality by requesting only the data you need using a field mask, which helps you avoid unnecessary processing time and higher request billing rates. For details, see Choose what information to return.

The Routes API ComputeRoutes method accepts an HTTP POST request with a JSON request body that contains the request details. Required are an origin, destination, travelMode, and a field mask to specify which fields to return.

curl -X POST -d '{
    "origin": {
      "address": "1800 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043"
    },
    "destination": {
      "address": "Sloat Blvd &, Upper Great Hwy, San Francisco, CA 94132"
    },
  "travelMode": "DRIVE"
  }' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'X-Goog-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'X-Goog-FieldMask: routes.duration,routes.distanceMeters' \
  'https://routes.googleapis.com/directions/v2:computeRoutes'

The service then calculates the requested route, and returns the fields you've requested.
