About routing

You can generate driving directions between multiple locations with route finding Web services. These Web services accept x,y coordinate inputs for two or more locations, along with routing preferences, and return a route map and textual driving directions for the suggested route. Your route can also include turn-by-turn directions and best routing (optimizing the order of your route stops).

Route finding allows you to perform the following functions:

• Specify a list of coordinate pairs for start, end, and midpoints for a route.
• Specify a description for points of a route.
• Specify a returned route as textual driving directions, map image, turn-by-turn maps, or a combination.
• Specify a language of driving directions.
