The Routes API supports four travel modes:
- Drive
- Walk
- Bicycle
- Two-wheeler
Two-wheeler refers to two-wheeled motorized vehicles (for example, motorcycles). The two-wheeler travel mode differs from the bicycle travel mode, which is a human-powered travel mode.
Use the travelMode property of a request to specify the mode. The possible
values of this property are defined by enumerations in
RouteTravelMode (REST) and
RouteTravelMode (gRPC).
Specify the two-wheeler travel mode
When you call a Routes API, you specify the RouteTravelMode
enumeration value to specify the travel mode.
The following example shows how to set the travel mode to TWO_WHEELER
in a computeRoutes method (REST)
request body. You can also specify this option to the
ComputeRoutes
method (gRPC).
In this example, you compute the directions between two locations in India specified by Plus codes:
{
"origin":{
"address": "H8MW+WP Kolkata India"
},
"destination":{
"address": "GCG2+3M Kolkata India"
},
"travelMode":"TWO_WHEELER"
}
