Service Name: ESRI_Route_EU

Description: This Network Analyst service enables you to generate routes and driving directions for two or more points in Europe. The service supports multipoint routing with up to 10 stops per request, including an option to find the best sequence of stops. The service supports the option for route barriers with up to 25 barriers per request.

The routing service is based on NAVTEQ Q1 2011 reference data for Europe and is limited to the coverage provided by NAVTEQ.

Technical Notes:

• Route Layer Options: The routing service includes two route layer options: Route and Long_Route. The default Route option is intended for typical route requests within a local area (for example, within a city or between two local cities), providing best-quality routes. The alternative Long_Route option is intended for longer routes (for example, cross-state or cross-country), providing best performance. While the default Route option can be used for any request, Esri recommends using the Long_Route option for route requests expected to be greater than ~300 miles between origin and destination (for example, Paris to Amsterdam) to achieve best performance. You can quickly estimate the distance between route stops before generating the route by calculating the difference in decimal degrees between the points.
• Supported Languages (codes): The following languages are supported in the routing directions. See the instructions for setting up support for multiple languages in your routing directions for details on how to use these codes for your SOAP and REST applications.
