i would like to create a link to the maps Website where the user gets the route for more than 2 waypoints.

for example - this URL:

> **[OpenRouteService route planner - directions, isochrones and places](https://maps.openrouteservice.org/#/directions/Danziger%20Stra%C3%9Fe,Steinheim%20an%20der%20Murr,BW,Deutschland/Felsengartenkellerei,Hessigheim,BW,Deutschland/Ilsfeld,BW,Deutschland/data/55,130,32,198,15,97,4,224,38,9,96,59,2,24,5,192,166,6,113,0,184,64,78,0,232,2,96,29,128,22,0,56,3,101,32,26,43,15,212,128,25,247,32,70,1,184,136,242,142,3,50,80,10,192,210,147,124,195,75,20,163,196,185,114,248,104,50,34,216,112,202,106,65,209,1,0,3,170,120,17,19,97,202,0,23,148,0,182,184,59,17,215,186,4,0,102,240,0,219,165,194,22,52,120,0,220,144,1,204,1,104,193,145,161,180,65,29,209,157,209,161,209,16,193,60,241,227,32,172,172,19,97,209,96,64,1,125,114,128,0)**

i want to use this website since here the user has the chance to change order of the waypoints according to his needs.

(i now i could use this instead: [Dashboard | ORS](https://openrouteservice.org/dev/#/api-docs/v2/directions/%7Bprofile%7D/json/post) - but here the user does not have the chance to change order of the waypoints)

My Questions is: what does all the URL parameters mean ? How do i know them ?  
Of course the first part (Danziger%20Stra%C3%9Fe,Steinheim%20an%20der%20Murr,BW,Deutschland/Felsengartenkellerei,Hessigheim,BW,Deutschland/Ilsfeld,BW,Deutschland)  
is clear. But what are all this numbers afterwards ?  
Obvioulsly i have to send them to get a calculated route.  
Can’t i call the website without the numbers somehow ?

Thank you. I’ve already seen this thread.  
But it uses the classic-map. How to migrate this to the new map ?

Plus: this URL-parameters look much simpler this is true - but anyway: is there a documentation to it ?

check out amons answer in that thread, it regards the new client.

There is no documentation, but the app is [open source](https://github.com/GIScience/ors-map-client) you can take a look at the code to see what the parameters do.  
Basically it’s just using the settings you made for a route/isochrone and stores them in the URL.

If you disabled the compression (see mentioned answer) you can click the share button (or the url directly) and take a look at the parameters. (You can use e.g. [https://www.url-encode-decode.com/](https://www.url-encode-decode.com/) to decode the %20 stuff)
