Class DirectionsApi

java.lang.Object

com.google.maps.DirectionsApi

public class DirectionsApi
extends java.lang.Object

The Google Directions API is a service that calculates directions between locations using an HTTP request. You can search for directions for several modes of transportation, include transit, driving, walking, or cycling. Directions may specify origins, destinations, and waypoints, either as text strings (e.g. "Chicago, IL" or "Darwin, NT, Australia") or as latitude/longitude coordinates. The Directions API can return multi-part directions using a series of waypoints.

See the Directions API Developer's Guide for more information.
