Release of Map Matching API V1.3.6

Since we first released our PTV Developer Map Matching API there were a lot of improvements in the API.
All new features and improvements are listed in the API changes.

Today we like to introduce you to the highlights of the latest release of PTV Developer Map Matching API V1.3.6:

  • Feature: Providing segment attributes like bridge, tunnel, speed limit, etc. for a single matched GPS position.
  • Feature: Providing segment attributes like bridge, tunnel, speed limit, etc. for a complete matched GPS track.
  • Improvement: The preferred default languages used to return the result attributes ‘countryName’, ‘city’ and ‘street’ depend on the region of the matched segment instead of the complete country.
