  • Driving events available

    With events you get detailed information about everything relevant that happens along a route in chronological order like maneuvers, border crossings or using toll roads. Moreover, in the method ‘calculateRoutePost’ of the Routing API we return schedule events, when the driver has to take a break or a rest, wait for the opening of a waypoint or perform a service.…
