Hi,

Is it possible to pass advanced routing options (e.g. avoid\_features) to matrix requests ? When I try the API seems to simply ignore the ‘options’ field altogether.

Could it be a new feature ?

Thanks  
Morgan

Hi Morgan,

we are working on this feature with a planned release over the next ±6 months.

Cheers, Tim

Hi,  
I just stumbled upon this request from a year ago while having the same question. Can you give a short update on the current status? Exactly the avoid\_polygon in a matrix request would be what I’m looking for…  
Thanks!  
Dennis
