API Keys for Navigation and Elevation

Navigation

Navigation system: The navigation system has a priority queue that it goes through to find the next best navigation strategy. If a strategy fails, it will be blacklisted for the next hour.

Google -> Mapzen -> Yours -> Default Walking

The human navigation strategies we support now are:

  1. Google (requires a key, limit of 2500 requests per day per IP address)
  2. Mapzen (requires a key, no API limits)
  3. YOURS (no key required)

Google APIs https://console.developers.google.com/apis

Enable key for both Google Maps Directions API and Google Maps Elevation API. You can use the same key for both services, but you need to enable for both first. google-apis

Mapzen https://mapzen.com/developers/
