The ArcGIS Routing service can be used to generate:

• Driving directions
• Service areas (drive-time areas)
• Routes to closest facilities
• A travel-time and travel-distance matrix from multiple origins to multiple destinations
• Optimized routes for a fleet of vehicles
• Optimal facility locations through location-allocation analysis

Resources describing the service and how to use it include:

• ArcGIS REST API—Start here if you are a developer building your own application.
• ArcGIS Online Help—Start here if you are a GIS user accessing the ArcGIS Routing service from the Map Viewer application.
• ArcGIS Help—Start here if you are a GIS professional using the ArcGIS Routing service from ArcGIS Pro.
• Network dataset coverage map—View the availability of road and traffic data for performing analyses.
• Routing feedback—Provide suggestions or report issues related to the ArcGIS Routing service.

Notes: Services on route.arcgis.com provide direct-request equivalents for some routing service types. You can also supplement your basemaps by adding the traffic map service from traffic.arcgis.com.
