Stops workingin 511 daysSubscribe to Azure MapsShare

On March 31, 2028, Azure Maps will retire Route v1 directions endpoints. After this date, requests to /route/directions/* will fail. Calls must be transitioned to the newer service version to avoid disruptions.


Calls it hits

  • /route/directions/*

What to use instead of these calls

Update requests to call POST /route/directions?api-version=2025-01-01 with a GeoJSON body. Send batch requests to /route/directions:batch instead.

In Azure Maps's words

The Azure Maps Route v1 service is now deprecated and will be retired on 3/31/28. To avoid service disruptions, all calls to Route v1 service will need to be updated to use Route v2025-01-01 service by 3/31/28.
