ManeuverType
A maneuver describes the action needed to leave one street segment and enter the following street segment to progress along the route. This type is an abstract base class for PrivateTransportManeuverType and PublicTransportManeuverType . It includes only attributes that are common for any given maneuver type.
Length, Shape, and Note refer to the leg immediately following the maneuver. 
ManeuverType defines the following attributes:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| ID | ElementReferenceType Key that identifies this element uniquely within the response. |
ManeuverType defines the following data elements:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
Position | GeoCoordinateType Position where the maneuver starts. |
Instruction | xs:string Description of the required maneuver, for example, "Turn left onto Minna St." Response format for this description can be either text or HTML as selected in For an automated unit conversion, we recommend using |
TravelTime | common:DurationType Describes the amount of time in seconds for a single maneuver, traffic considered if this has been enabled. See also: |
Length | DistanceType Length (in meters) for the leg between this maneuver and the next. |
Shape | GeoPolylineType Shape of the leg between this maneuver and the next. |
FirstPoint | xs:int Index into the global geometry array, pointing to the first point of the shape subsegment associated with this Maneuver. Must be followed by |
LastPoint | xs:int Index into the global geometry array, pointing to the last point of the shape subsegment associated with this Maneuver. Must be preceded by |
Time | xs:dateTime Estimated point in time when the maneuver should occur, based on the selected transport mode. Options include:
In both cases the time is given in the timezone of the maneuver's starting position. See also Public Transport Routing for information on differences between time handling in each routing mode. |
Note | RouteNoteType Additional information about the route segment following the maneuver, such as "sharp curve ahead", "accessing toll road", etc. |
NextManeuver | ElementReferenceType Reference to the next maneuver on the recommended route. |
ToLink | LinkIdType The key of the next outgoing link. |
BoundingBox | GeoBoundingBoxType Coordinates defining the bounding box of the entire maneuver. |
ShapeQuality | ShapeQualityType Shape quality between current maneuver and the next one. Shape quality may vary depending on the transport mode chosen. |
