How to optimize a route with Google-API Maps for more than 23 waypoints?

14.5k Views Asked by At

could someone please point me out the part of the route optimization for routes with more than 23 waypoints? I want to buy a 'Google-API-Maps for Work License', but it seems that it is not possible to optimize the whole route, when it has more than 23 waypoints.

For instance, if I have a route with 40 waypoints, that needs to go from Point A to point B via 40 waypoints, I need to create the following requests:

Request 1: Origin: Point A Waypoints: Waypoint 1 through to waypoints 23 Destination: Waypoint 24

Request 2: Origin: Waypoint 24 Waypoints: Waypoint 25 through to Waypoint 40 Destination: Point B

I would get 2 responses, the first the route from Point A to Waypoint 24 and the second the route from waypoint 24 to Point B. After that, I would combine these 2 routes to get one single route.

But what about the route-optimization? In this case I would not be able to optimize the whole route, starting from the first Point A to the last Point B.

Any solutions for this problem?

I think what you are looking for is well answered here. Unfortunately, as mentioned in the response, the work-around would involve a lot more coding but it will solve all your troubles without having to pay anything more than you already have.
