Η Google announced a new one Google Maps Roads API, which allows developers to create better route visualizations on applications them from the initials data of GPS, following real roads.
The new API fixes that problem του jitter GPS, όπου οι εφαρμογές εμφάνιζαν περίεργα τις διαδρομές που περνούσαν μέσα από εμπόδια, όπως κτίρια. Το πρόβλημα παρουσιαζόταν από ανακριβή ή ανεπαρκή data του GPS.
The new Roads API includes a road attachment feature that takes data and returns paths that comply with the most likely routes.
The new function will be very useful in navigation applications and positioning.
The function is free for up to 2.500 questions per day.
