Azure Maps Routing Take two!

Azure Maps Routing Take two!

Our previous Routing blog was so popular we thought we would follow up with more great routing scenarios that you can use in your solutions by just adding Azure Maps to your Azure Subscription ( Overview for Microsoft Azure Maps | Microsoft Docs )

Here are some more routing samples to guide you how you might add these features to your scenario:

Add traffic along your route:

 

Although the traffic is considered when you use the route API (unless you deactivate it) with this option you can visualize how the traffic is in the route.

Add weather along your route:

 

Weather conditions can affect your drive, with the weather service APIs, powered by Accuweather, provided through Azure Maps you can check out the  weather conditions along your expected route.

Get a route based on your vehicle type :

 

There are multiple factors to consider when we need to calculate the route for a truck rather than a car; width, height, length, weight and load are some of the options you can setup to calculate this route. Our sample shows you the difference between a truck and a car’s route based on such factors.

Optimize waypoints to get a better route:

 

If you need to find out the shortest distance for a route of multiple points this option provides you what you need, in this sample you can find 7 addresses for a total of 138.85 km shortened to 92.36 km.
