REST api question

Balasaheb Molawade 141

Hi Team,

We are using https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/V1/Routes/truck? API to get the route, travel distance, and travel time for cars and trucks. We wanted to confirm if can we use truck mode in this API to get the truck route and if is this included in “Light Known users” Bing map license key. How is the transaction count?

Here is API that we used.

https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/V1/Routes/truck?wp.0=135%20Woodvale%20Ave,%20Princes%20Bay,%20Richmond%20County%20New%20York%2010309%20&wp.1=4020%20at%20AMBOY%20RD%20Staten%20Island%20NY%2010310%20USA%20&distanceUnit=mile&key={Bing map key}

Please check and let us know your response for the same.

Waiting for your reply.

According to the Bing maps terms of use here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/maps/product Truck routing is considered a premium service and the premium services are not included with the known user licenses (regular or lite). So you would need to license additional transactions to cover that usage. I recommend reaching out to the Bing Maps licensing team to verify this and to move things forward. If based in North America contact maplic@microsoft.com, if outside of North America contact mapemea@microsoft.com

As for transactions, truck routing generates 3 transactions per request. This is documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/getting-started/bing-maps-dev-center-help/understanding-bing-maps-transactions

Hi Ricky,

Thanks for your reply.

We store coordinates in an SQL database, and since we do not have direct access to the database, we use a Web API to retrieve those coordinates. After fetching those coordinates using the web API, we loop through each coordinate and check if pushpins (with the following latitude and longitude 44.3043, -86.01501) lie within those coordinates. We store coordinates in text format, As shown below as a sample with some coordinates. The coordinates consist of a large collection of latitude and longitude pairs.

43.955648661089114,-86.46308800835779||43.95540158970585,-86.45055896877852||43.95552512552589,-86.43717177580342||43.95614280077381,-86.43288100882422||43.95638986907524,-86.41503141819075||43.955278053629016,-86.39838324231145||43.956266335052945,-86.37864571420714||43.95542780312437,-86.33896260854519||43.95567487439864,-86.30233471742199||43.95468658313796,-86.26972488838007||43.95468658313796,-86.21850838952761||43.95419243134401,-86.17233973683143||43.953080574783826,-86.11119100345604||43.9466561073477,-86.09866196387678||43.94628544380836,-86.09522935029342||43.946285443808364,-86.03922626249967||43.946276177307354,-86.02704158073493||43.94637458865657,-86.01947328572844||43.94609671654055,-86.01771364320915||43.945824804124754,-86.0166734107974

We have used the code below to determine if the pushpin lies within a polygon of coordinates.

int i = 0;

int j = points.Count - 1;

bool inPoly = false;

for (i = 0; i < points.Count; i++)

{

if (points[i].Longitude < lon && points[j].Longitude >= lon || points[j].Longitude < lon && points[i].Longitude >= lon)

{

if (points[i].Latitude + (lon - points[i].Longitude) / (points[j].Longitude - points[i].Longitude) * (points[j].Latitude - points[i].Latitude) < lat)

{

inPoly = !inPoly;

}

}

j = i;

}

return inPoly;

Hope this information helps. Please let us know your response.

Thanks!

Hi @Balasaheb Molawade ,

As this is not a technical question but a licensing one, please reach out to MapLicQ at Microsoft.com with this question.

Sincerely,

As luck would have it, Microsoft Q&A is having issues today and I'm unable to post answers at the moment. I'll try and reach out in another way.
