Drive Time and Direction API
Use this API to get drive time and direction information for specific locations based on the configured default map provider.
API Definition
This API is defined in the MapProviderManager class.
public static ResultObject retrieveDirectionInfo(IGeography sourceLocation, IGeography destLocation, DateTime departureTime, DateTime arrivalTime)
Parameters

Example
import import com.servicemax.mapproviders.MapProviderManager
import com.intalio.com.data.geography.Geography
import com.intalio.core.data.api.IGeography
import org.joda.time.DateTime
IGeography source = new Geography("37.3893889","-122.0832101")
IGeography destination = new Geography("38.3893889","-122.0832101")
DateTime departureTime = new DateTime('2020-11-12T08:00:00.000Z')
def res = MapProviderManager.retrieveDirectionInfo(source, destination, departureTime, null);
Map Provider Considerations
The Google Maps API (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/intro) uses traffic conditions data for arrival time calculations only when you specify departureTime while you use this API. If you set only arrivalTime, traffic conditions data is not used. If neither parameter is set, departureTime is set as Now by default.
For OSM, you must specify a MapBox access token, because this API is implemented by the MapBox Direction Service. OSM uses the specified departureTime and arrivalTime values for travel time calculation. In cases where departureTime and arrivalTime values are not specified, current traffic conditions data is used. For the MapBox Directions API, see https://www.mapbox.com/api-documentation/#directions. For a list of geographies that support traffic conditions data, see https://www.mapbox.com/api-documentation/pages/traffic-countries.html.
