Use the Vehicle Stop-over Qualifier

You can use the Vehicle Stop-over qualifier to specify that a waypoint is meant to be used for stopping for picking-up or dropping-off. This ensures that the calculated route won't begin or end on a road that is unsuitable for pickup and drop-off (for example, a highway or tunnel).

Example use case

Consider the situation where a surface road crosses over a road inside a tunnel. If you were to specify a waypoint located where the two roads intersect (as seen on a map), then the resulting route would begin or end on either the surface road or the tunnel. This presents a problem because you can't stop in tunnels to make pickups or drop-offs.

If you want to use the waypoint for a pickup or drop-off, then you could set the vehicleStopover field, which ensures that the resulting route begins or ends on a road that allows pickups and drop-offs (that is, on the surface road).

Example

The following example demonstrates how to set the vehicleStopover qualifier.

 { 
  "vehicleStopover" 
 : 
 true 
 , 
 "location" 
 : 
 { 
 "latLng" 
 : 
 { 
 "latitude" 
 : 
 37.419734 
 , 
 "longitude" 
 :- 
 122.0827784 
 } 
 } 
 }
