Hi - I am using the below Azure Route api for getting the route and plotting the same in the map. GET https://atlas.microsoft.com/route/directions/{format}?api-version=1.0&query={query} The problem I have is The route it gives by default is for Left hand drive. I am using this in India. Is there any way I can change any parameters so that it plots the Right hand drive route ? How to specify country code in the above API. If i specify the country code, will it automatically give the Right hand drive route ? Please help. Thanks! -Mathew

The route follows the road direction itself, and changes as the roads do globally. If you drive between countries where the sides of the roads differ, the route automatically follows the roads and switches over as needed.

Can you provide an example route request where you are seeing an issue? What you are describing sounds like something the route API already takes care of automatically, so don't understand the disconnect here.

Thanks for clarifying the same. We had an issue. Now based on your answer when i had a close look at it, I have figured out that it was at a place where there were multiple roads and we felt like it was giving the route coordinates based on left hand drive.

I believe we shall proceed in the current manner.

Thanks a lot for the answer.
