Map localization
The API can be used to display maps that are localized in various languages and reflect differences in specific countries.
For example, you can display a map with labels in English and indicate distances in miles.
To set a language for the map, pass the lang
parameter when connecting the API:
lang=language_region
-
language
: Two-letter language code. Specified in ISO 639-1 format. Sets the language for objects on the map (toponyms and controls). -
region
: The two-letter country code. Specified in ISO 3166-1 format. Determines regional settings, such as measurement units (for indicating distances between objects or driving speeds on a route).Note.
Distance is shown in miles.
