R Documentation

This operation is no longer current and may be deprecated in the future¶

Description¶

This operation is no longer current and may be deprecated in the future. We recommend you upgrade to the Routes API V2 unless you require Grab data.

create_route_calculator is part of a previous Amazon Location Service Routes API (version 1) which has been superseded by a more intuitive, powerful, and complete API (version 2).
The Routes API version 2 has a simplified interface that can be used without creating or managing route calculator resources.
If you are using an Amazon Web Services SDK or the Amazon Web Services CLI, note that the Routes API version 2 is found under geo-routes or geo_routes, not under location.
Since Grab is not yet fully supported in Routes API version 2, we recommend you continue using API version 1 when using Grab.
Start your version 2 API journey with the Routes V2 API Reference or the Developer Guide.

Creates a route calculator resource in your Amazon Web Services account.

You can send requests to a route calculator resource to estimate travel time, distance, and get directions. A route calculator sources traffic and road network data from your chosen data provider.

If your application is tracking or routing assets you use in your business, such as delivery vehicles or employees, you must not use Esri as your geolocation provider. See section 82 of the Amazon Web Services service terms for more details.
