Routes

Methods
Directions
The turn-by-turn route between two places, with the distance for each instruction. Use ETA instead when only the travel time is wanted — this asks the provider for more and costs more
ETA
How long it takes to travel between two places, by road rather than as the crow flies. Can be asked about a future departure, or told when you need to arrive and answer when to leave
Nearest
Given a starting point and several destinations, say which is quickest to reach and put them in order. Each destination is a separate routing lookup, so ask about the places you are actually choosing between rather than a long list
