The Google Directions API is a service that calculates directions between locations using an HTTP request. Directions may specify origins, destinations and waypoints either as text strings (e.g. "Chicago, IL" or "Darwin, NT, Australia") or as latitude/longitude coordinates. The Directions API can return multi-part directions using a series of waypoints. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/?hl=fr-FR#TravelModes
