Map Data

The endpoints starting with /mapdata are used to query information from the map data.

Querying Road Segments

This endpoint [GET]/mapdata/roadsegments/geojson/{coordinate} is especially useful when used with the Detour functions prioritize and penalize: Before adjusting the priority of a road, you can check what speed the navigation uses on this road segment.

You can query the road segments at a coordinate, e.g. 50.7365574, 7.0919497, like this:

curl -X GET "https://api.maptrip.de/v1/mapdata/roadsegments/geojson/50.7365574%2C%207.0919497?provider=TomTom" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

The result is a GeoJSON feature collection. For this example the response contains a single road segment (but there can be more segments for other coordinates, e.g. for crossroads):

        "type": "LineString",
        "coordinates": [
          [
            7.092882,
            50.737243
          ],
          [
            7.092567,
            50.737067
          ],
          [
            7.092469,
            50.736999
          ],
          [
            7.092388,
            50.736925
          ],
          [
            7.091912,
            50.736356
          ]
        ]
      },
      "properties": {
        "NAME": "Weiherstraße",
        "TYPE": "ICB",
        "SPEED": "9"
      }
    }
  ]
}

The SPEED property is the average speed for this road segment in km/h.

Querying Roads prohibited for Trucks

If you display truck routes on a map, you probably also want to show roads that are prohibited for trucks - otherwise users will not be able to see why a road is being avoided. The endpoint [GET] /mapdata/prohibitedfortrucks/geojson/ returns a GeoJSON feature collection of all road segments in the specified bounding box which are prohibited for trucks:

curl -X GET "https://api.maptrip.de/v1/mapdata/prohibitedfortrucks/geojson/50.73120%2C7.09480/50.74041%2C7.10670?provider=tomtom" -H "accept: application/geo+json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

The resulting feature collection contains a line string for every road segment with the attribute "type": "truck-prohibited":

      "geometry": {

        "coordinates": [
          [
            7.104479,
            50.73921
          ],
          [
            7.104704,
            50.738386
          ]
        ]
      },
      "properties": {
        "type": "truck-prohibited"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Querying Turn Restrictions

To easily visualize turn restrictions in a map, you can use the endpoint [GET] /mapdata/turnrestrictions/geojson/{from}/{to} which returns a GeoJSON feature collection to show in a map:

curl -X GET "https://api.maptrip.de/v1/mapdata/turnrestrictions/geojson/50.73614%2C7.09503/50.73756%2C7.09732?provider=tomtom" -H "accept: application/geo+json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

Querying Vehicle Attributes

To visualize vehicle attributes like height or weight limits in a map, you can use the endpoint [GET] /mapdata/vehicleattributes/geojson/{from}/{to} which returns a GeoJSON feature collection to show in a map:

curl -X GET "https://api.maptrip.de/v1/mapdata/vehicleattributes/geojson/50.73614%2C7.09503/50.73756%2C7.09732?provider=tomtom" -H "accept: application/geo+json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

Here is an example for a road segment with a weight limit of 3.5 tons that only applies from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.:
