What it does
This module integrates Google Maps Routing APIs directly into the unified routing
framework provided by the to_geo_routes module. It allows Odoo/Viindoo systems to
retrieve highly accurate directions, distance, travel time (with optional traffic),
and polyline geometry from Google's world-class mapping infrastructure.
The connector acts as a provider plugin in the multi-provider ecosystem of
to_geo_routes, enabling any business feature—such as Fleet Management, Logistics,
Delivery, Booking, Dispatching, or VRP (Vehicle Routing Problem) optimization—to use
Google Maps routing seamlessly without dealing with provider-specific complexity.
Google Maps is known for its global coverage, reliable data quality, and accurate
traffic-aware time estimation, making it a premium choice for businesses that
require precision and reliability in route planning.
