Routes Preferred APIs support four travel modes:
- Drive
- Walk
- Bicycle
- Two-wheeler
Two-wheeler refers to two-wheeled motorized vehicles (for example, motorcycles).
The two-wheeler travel mode differs from the bicycle travel mode, which is a
human-powered travel mode.
Specifying the two-wheeler travel mode
When you call the Routes Preferred APIs, you use a
RouteTravelMode
enumeration value to specify the travel mode.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to set the travel mode in the ComputeRoutes() method request
body.
{
"origin":{
"location":{
"latLng":{
"latitude":37.419734,
"longitude":-122.0827784
}
}
},
"destination":{
"location":{
"latLng":{
"latitude":37.417670,
"longitude":-122.079595
}
}
},
"travelMode":"TWO_WHEELER"
}
