Frequently asked questions

Features

The Navigation SDK includes comprehensive map and traffic data integration, regulation-aware routing (e.g., truck-specific routing), ability to import preplanned routes, support for off-road and custom map restrictions, accelerated testing and integration tools, and cross-platform SDKs for Android, iOS, and Flutter.

Yes. The SDK integrates real-time and historical traffic data from multiple data partners so route suggestions and ETAs are responsive to actual traffic conditions in your operational regions.

Absolutely, developers can tailor the navigation experience with features like custom branding, custom map styles, importing preplanned routes, private map edits, and private routing restrictions to align with specific use cases.

The SDK supports standard road navigation as well as off-road maps and custom routing constraints such as road closures, speed limits, and safety zones. You can also import exact preplanned routes to override automatic routing when needed.

NextBillion.ai’s Navigation SDK is available for major mobile platforms including Android, iOS, and Flutter, making it easy to integrate intuitive turn-by-turn navigation into both native and cross-platform applications.

Pricing

NextBillion.ai uses a flexible pricing model, where costs are customized based on usage type, you can choose to pay per API call, per asset (e.g., vehicle/driver), or per task/order depending on your business model and usage volume.
