Consider weather conditions and traffic when generating the route

Question

Hi,

We are using the Bing Maps Directions module to generate routes:

https://www.bing.com/api/maps/sdk/mapcontrol/isdk/directionsinputpanel#JS

We have received a new requirement from the customer to consider weather conditions and traffic when generating the route. However, we were unable to find any relevant information on this.

Is there a solution to achieve this?

Thanks!

Hi @Balasaheb Molawade

Bing Maps does not offer a weather service. Azure Maps offers both traffic and weather so it seems like this might be a good opportunity to try out Azure Maps on this project. You can find more information about these services in the Azure Maps documentation: - Traffic service documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/rest/api/maps/traffic - Weather services documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/rest/api/maps/weather
