TravelDirectionTransientUpdate

List

A schema containing the update types for the transient update. Transient updates are updates made on a request that only apply to that particular request. Transient updates are similar to Persistent updates, except that Transient updates are only for a particular request and Persistent updates are for all the requests. You have the ability to set a speed for a point, a segment id, or a road class, as well as the ability to update the road class for a segment (specified by the segment id).

For transient update options and example, see GetTravelDirections_TransientOptions.dita.
TollRoad Boolean This feature specifies whether you want a route with or without a toll road. This is a Boolean type parameter. The default vale is False. If you set the value of TollRoad to True, the response contains a route without any toll roads. If the value of TollRoad is set to False, the route includes toll roads.
