How to Use the Geometric-Based Method

The calculation of distance and driving periods between two locations is carried out on the fly. For the geometric-based method, a distance matrix is not necessary.

Get the Distances and Driving Periods

In order to calculate the single distances and driving periods between locations, you have to transfer the corresponding location pairs. For the geometric-based method, the mode GEOMETRIC has to be selected. As a result you get the distances in meters for each location pair. The driving periods are not returned, but this value could easily be calculated by the client (e.g. with a standard speed). Please note that this mode does not consider roads, bridges or tunnels.
