Point Options

This set of preferences allows you to set the point updates for each persistent update. Point updates are changes applied to a corresponding point (Latitude, Longitude). For a particular point, you can: exclude the point, set the speed of the point or change (increase or decrease) the speed of the point by a value or percentage.

You must specify a Point which consists of a Latitude and Longitude, then specify the type of point update. Each request can contain one or more updates.

Parameter

Description

Point

The point to perform the persistent update. You must specify a point which consists of a Latitude and Longitude.

Exclude

This is astring value to exclude the specified point from all route calculations. To exclude a point you need to specify the point and include the Exclude parameter defined as Y. Valid values are Y (yes) and N (no).

Velocity

This is a speed update where you define the new speed of the point by specifying the velocity unit and new velocity. For speed updates, the velocity unit can have one of the following values: kph (kilometers per hour), mph (miles per hour), mtps (meters per second), mtpm (meters per minute).

SpeedIncrease

This is a speed update where you define an increase in the speed of the point by specifying either the velocity (unit and value) or a percentage to increase the speed. For speed updates, the velocity unit can have one of the following values: kph (kilometers per hour), mph (miles per hour), mtps (meters per second), mtpm (meters per minute).

SpeedDecrease

This is a speed update where you define a decrease in the speed of the point by specifying either the velocity (unit and value) or a percentage to decrease the speed. For speed updates, the velocity unit can have one of the following values: kph (kilometers per hour), mph (miles per hour), mtps (meters per second), mtpm (meters per minute).
