break location - the start or end point of a route.
cost - fixed costs in seconds that are added to both the path cost and the estimated time.
costing model - set of costs for particular methods of travel, such as automobile or pedestrian.
edge - a line connected between nodes
factor - multiply the cost along an edge or road section in a way that influences the path to favor or avoid a particular attribute
graph - a set of edges connected by nodes used for building a route
location - a latitude, longitude coordinate pair, specified in decimal degrees that determines the routing and order of navigation.
maneuver - an operation to be performed during navigation, such as a turn, and the expected duration of the movement.
narration - textual guidance describing the maneuver to be performed, such as a turn, distance to travel, and expected time.
path - the sequence of edges forming a route
penalty - fixed costs in seconds that are only added to the path cost. Penalties can influence the route path determination but do not add to the estimated time along the path.
route - sequence of edges and maneuvers forming the best travel path between locations given the available road network, costs, influence factors, and other inputs.
short path - a route that attempts to minimize distance traveled over the constituent edges, but may not be the shortest distance.
through location - an optional location to influence the route to travel through that location.
tiled routing - method of building a path on graph data that has been split into square cells.
time - the number of seconds estimated to complete a maneuver or trip, including any additional costs.
trip - results of an entire route, including locations, legs, and maneuvers.
height - with respect to elevation, the height above or below sea level at a specific location (lat,lng).
height with range - computing the range (cumulative distance) and height for a series of lat,lng pairs of a line or shape. This is very useful for charting/graphing.
