This is [`route/get`](/docs/navixy-api/user-api/resources/tracking/route.md#post-route-get) with the provider pinned to the [Google Directions API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/intro). Use it when the route must come from Google regardless of the account's default provider. What differs from the generic operation is the failure detail. Google's own status strings arrive in an `errors` array alongside the Navixy platform error code, so a caller can tell a quota problem from an unroutable request. ## API actions API base path: `/route/google`. *** ## Get route with Google > Return a route calculated by the Google Directions API. Identical to \`route/get\` with \`provider\_type\` pinned to \`google\`; a \`provider\_type\` sent here is ignored.\ > \ > Google allows at most 8 waypoints besides the origin and destination, or 23 for Maps API for Business customers. Exceeding that is reported as error 218 with \`MAX\_WAYPOINTS\_EXCEEDED\`.\ > \ > Requires the \`routing\` tariff feature on \*\*every\*\* tracker on the account. Without it the call returns error 236. ```json {"openapi":"3.1.0","info":{"title":"Navixy Platform API","version":"1.0.0"},"tags":[{"name":"Routes","description":"Routing between points, using the account's default provider or a named one.

The `errors` array holds one of `OVER_QUERY_LIMIT`, when the service has received too many requests from the application within the allowed time period, `REQUEST_DENIED`, when the service denied the application use of the directions service, or `UNKNOWN_ERROR`, a server error that may succeed on retry. * 218 - Malformed external service parameters. The `errors` array holds one of `NOT_FOUND`, when at least one of the origin, destination, or waypoint locations could not be geocoded, `ZERO_RESULTS`, when no route could be found, `MAX_WAYPOINTS_EXCEEDED`, when the request carries too many waypoints, at most 8 plus the origin and destination, or 23 for Google Maps API for Business customers, or `INVALID_REQUEST`, for an invalid parameter or parameter value. * 236 - Feature unavailable due to tariff restrictions, when at least one tracker in the request has no `routing` tariff feature. An error response looks like this: ```json { "success": false, "status": { "code": 215, "description": "External service error" }, "errors": ["OVER_QUERY_LIMIT"] } ``` --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://navixy.com/docs/navixy-api/user-api/resources/tracking/route/route_google.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
