Directions API
Compute precise, compliant, single-vehicle routes with multi-stop support, toll and highway avoidance, and vehicle-specific constraints. Engineered for high-scale, low-latency logistics and transportation platforms.
The NextBillion.ai Directions API delivers precise, compliant, and context-aware routing for a single vehicle — from simple A-to-B navigation to complex multi-stop journeys. Whether you're routing delivery vans, heavy trucks, or field agents, get low-latency, vehicle-specific directions that respect real-world road constraints, toll preferences, and regulatory requirements every time.
Explore the full suite of routing and navigation capabilities built around the NextBillion.ai Directions API.
Compute precise, compliant, single-vehicle routes with multi-stop support, toll and highway avoidance, and vehicle-specific constraints. Engineered for high-scale, low-latency logistics and transportation platforms.
Deliver real-time, turn-by-turn navigation for commercial vehicles with HGV-compliant routing, departure-time traffic intelligence, and custom road attribute integration for driver applications.
Inject custom road attributes — closures, turn restrictions, speed overrides, no-parking zones — directly into every route calculation without engineering effort or map provider tickets.
Calculate real-time and historical travel times, distances, and ETAs between up to 5,000 x 5,000 origin-destination pairs in a single API call for fleet assignment and route pre-processing.
Generate dispatch-ready multi-stop routes in seconds using 50+ hard and soft constraints. Purpose-built for large-scale last-mile delivery, field service, and specialty logistics operations.
Visualize computed directions and routes on fully customizable, logistics-optimized map canvases with live vehicle overlays, geofence boundaries, and stop markers for dispatch consoles.
Pass your start coordinate, end coordinate, and any intermediate stops as waypoints in a single API request. The Directions API supports multi-stop journeys, enabling complete route computation for delivery drivers, field agents, and long-haul operators managing complex stop sequences.
See how logistics and transportation teams use the Directions API to cut costs and improve delivery performance.
"We were unhappy with the pricing from big players in this space and needed a scalable alternative that offered customizability. NextBillion.ai's Maptiles API was exactly what we were looking for. For companies in the ferry and nautical map domain, we'd highly recommend NextBillion.ai."
"Support very good and friendly. Nextbillion provide the maps distance calculation with the low price but high value service to us. Nextbilions has help us reduce the cost and provide the same service as google!"
"By substantially reducing the number of developer hours spent on scheduling, NextBillion.ai's MVRP and large Distance Matrix API have helped us improve our operational efficiency and increase our cost savings significantly!"
"Rich in features, light in the pocket. NextBillion.ai is solving the complex processes of the best route for the right vehicle."
"I admire NextBillion.ai's fast response and friendly manners whenever we need professional support in geospatial data processing. They have delivered a valuable service and support to our company that we appreciate."

NextBillion.ai is built from the ground up for logistics and transportation teams that need routing intelligence that actually matches how their operations work.
Route trucks, vans, and motorcycles with dimension-specific constraints — no car-routing assumptions that fail commercial fleets on restricted roads.
Per-vehicle and per-order pricing models replace per-call billing, so demand spikes and re-optimization cycles never translate into budget overruns.
Low-latency routing engine delivers directions in sub-second response times, purpose-built for high-throughput production logistics platforms at scale.
Dedicated solutions engineering support around the clock, with API integration going live within a week including trial onboarding and data testing.

Co-Founder
Gaurav Bubna drives product innovation at NextBillion.ai, bringing deep expertise in building scalable location technology products from the ground up. Before co-founding NextBillion.ai, Gaurav built successful products across ride-hailing, food delivery, and logistics at industry leaders Grab, Ola, and Morgan Stanley — giving him firsthand experience with the routing, mapping, and dispatch challenges that logistics and transportation platforms face at scale. At NextBillion.ai, he channels that experience into an API-first platform designed to give every logistics operator access to the same quality of location intelligence that powers the world's largest mobility companies — without the prohibitive cost or rigidity of legacy mapping providers.
The NextBillion.ai Directions API computes precise, road-accurate routes for a single vehicle between an origin and destination, with support for multiple waypoints along the way. It returns turn-by-turn route geometry, distance, and ETA in real time, incorporating traffic conditions, vehicle-specific constraints, and custom road attributes set by your operations team.
