Otherwise, the language is inferred from the location of the origin. |
optimizeWaypointOrderoptional | Type: booleanoptional If set to true, the service attempts to minimize the overall cost of the route by re-ordering the specified intermediate waypoints. The request fails if any of the intermediate waypoints is a via waypoint. Use Route.optimizedIntermediateWaypointIndices in the response to find the new ordering. If"optimizedIntermediateWaypointIndices" is not requested inComputeRoutesRequest.fields , the request fails.

When using this feature, look forRoute.routeLabels on the resulting routes. |
routeModifiersoptional | Type: RouteModifiersoptional A set of conditions to satisfy that affect the way routes are calculated. For example you can specify features to avoid such as toll roads or highways. |
routingPreferenceoptional | Type: RoutingPreferenceoptional Specifies how to compute the route. The server attempts to use the selected routing preference to compute the route.
