Nearest Roads API Overview

The Nearest Roads API is a service that accepts multiple geographic points and returns the nearest road segments to those points. The provided points do not need to form a continuous path. This API simply maps each point to the nearest road segment without considering any possible route between the points. If you are working with sequential points and need to maintain the route, please use our SnapToRoad API.

The Nearest Roads API is useful for mapping multiple geographic points to their nearest road segments, providing accurate locations for various applications. This API is ideal for scenarios where points are not sequential or part of a continuous path, making it suitable for Geocoding and location-based services.

The Nearest Roads API helps by accurately snapping geographic points to the nearest road segments. This is useful for:

• Geocoding
• Enhancing location-based services
• Improving spatial data accuracy
• Aiding emergency response
• Supporting urban planning
• Optimizing routes

By mapping points to roads, it ensures precise and reliable location data for various applications.
