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 (e.g., within a city or between two local cities), providing best-quality routes. The alternative Long_Route option is intended for longer routes (e.g., 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 (e.g., Los Angeles, CA, to Phoenix, AZ) 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.
