--- title: Compute precise, compliant, and context-aware routes for a single vehicle description: AI-Powered Mapping Platform for Enterprises - Map APIs, SDKs & Map Tools url: https://nextbillion.ai/directions-api type: page published: 2025-04-04 updated: 2025-04-07 --- # NextBillion.ai — Directions API > Compute optimal, compliant driving directions for cars, motorcycles, and trucks. NextBillion.ai provides multi-stop route directions with real-time traffic and custom road restrictions. **Status:** Enterprise API · Fast & Flexible Endpoints Available --- ## Hero Compute optimal, compliant driving directions for cars, motorcycles, and commercial trucks. Deliver accurate turn-by-turn routes and realistic ETAs for single or multi-stop journeys while avoiding unexpected delays, tolls, and physical road constraints. - **Minimize transit time** — Calculate fastest or shortest paths accounting for live and historical traffic patterns. - **Ensure regulatory compliance** — Generate truck-safe directions adhering to weight, height, axle load, and HazMat rules. - **Prevent costly detours** — Apply custom avoidance rules for sharp turns, highways, tolls, ferries, and restricted zones. CTAs: [Request a Live Demo](https://nextbillion.ai/directions-api#demo) · [Watch Demo](https://nextbillion.ai/directions-api#watch-demo) · [Read API Docs](https://docs.nextbillion.ai/routing/directions-api) --- ## Trusted By Used by engineering and logistics leaders across global transportation networks: - Gojek - Hawx Pest Control - TruckIT - DB Schenker - ServiceTitan - Geotab - UNIS --- ## Core Value Proposition Get precise, context-aware turn-by-turn routing built specifically for commercial fleets and high-volume dispatch systems. - **Flexible and Fast Endpoints** — Choose between **Directions Flexible** for high-precision, highly constrained routing or **Directions Fast** for low-latency, high-throughput queries. - **Truck-Specific Navigation** — Factor in legal dimensions (length, width, height, weight), trailer counts, emissions categories, and hazardous material restrictions. - **Multi-Stop Journey Planning** — Handle up to 200 waypoints in a single POST request while generating accurate turn-by-turn instructions and legs. --- ## Endpoint Variations ### 1. Directions Flexible API *Designed for complex routing scenarios where precision, live traffic, and advanced vehicle constraints are critical.* - Live and historical traffic data integration - Support for complex truck dimensions, axle weights, and HazMat classes - Advanced maneuvers control (avoiding sharp turns, U-turns, service roads, and tolls) - Up to 200 waypoints per POST request ### 2. Directions Fast API *Optimized for high-volume, real-time routing scenarios where low latency is top priority.* - High-throughput response times using historical traffic patterns - Default truck and car routing modes with essential avoidance rules - Curbside approach routing for precise pickup and drop-off positioning - Ideal for instant dispatch, mobility platforms, and high-frequency ETA updates --- ## Key Features & Capabilities - **Diverse Driving Modes:** Driving routes tailored for trucks, light commercial vehicles, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and walking. - **Custom Avoidance & Road Edits:** Exclude specific bounding boxes, sharp turns, bridges, toll roads, ferries, or custom map segments via the Road Editor. - **Departure Time & ETAs:** Schedule trip routing based on predicted future traffic conditions for exact arrival windows. - **Curbside Positioning:** Ensures routes approach destinations on the correct side of the street for safe passenger pickup and freight loading. --- ## Customer Testimonials > *"NextBillion.ai solves the problem of providing a high-performance mapping platform at scale.
