Snap To Road API Overview
The SnapToRoad API is a service that takes a list of geographic points along a path and returns the snapped points to the routable road segments. This API maps each point to the road network, maintaining the sequential order of the points and optionally enhancing the path by adding intermediate points to ensure the path follows the actual roads and streets.
Why SnapToRoad API?
The SnapToRoad API is essential for applications that require precise mapping of sequential geographic points to a routable path on the road network. This is particularly useful for navigation, route optimization, and tracking the actual traveled route rather than a simple point-to-point mapping.
What can SnapToRoad API help with?
The SnapToRoad API helps by accurately snapping a sequence of geographic points to the road network, preserving the route’s continuity. This is beneficial for:
- Location-Based Services: Enhancing the accuracy of location data.
- GIS Applications: Providing precise mapping for geographic information systems.
- Asset Tracking: Monitoring the precise routes taken by vehicles or other moving assets.
By mapping points to roads and optionally enhancing the path, the SnapToRoad API ensures precise and reliable location data for applications that require accurate and sequential path mapping.
