Overview

The Map Matching API snaps noisy GPS traces to the real road network. Raw tracking coordinates drift off the road; feed the sequence to this endpoint and it returns a clean, road-aligned path with the roads actually travelled. Essential for fleet telematics, trip reconstruction and turning scattered pings into accurate, logical route data.
