I can't speak specifically to maps.google, but the directions API tries to put the end point(s) of the route at the street in front of "your house." So if you provide the LatLng of the center of a large shopping center as the destination, the route will actually end on the street "in front of" the shopping center.
In your example, your destination LatLng is in the middle of a vacant lot. (I'm not sure where your LatLng came from, but you can try dropping a Marker there to see.) It looks like the directions service is trying to find the nearest "real" address, which looks to be the office building labelled "Bunzl Verpakkingen Arnhem BV." And that is where it ends up. In maps.google, it looks like it is accepting the parking lot (car park) at the end of Delta (Street) as an acceptable destination. (This is not too surprising; the geoCoding API in maps.google is different from the API because the API looks only for addresses, whereas maps.google includes a Places function as well, so the results are often different.) If you assure your destinations are real places, you will probably get more consistent results between the API and maps.google.com. - Jeff On Dec 1, 4:14 am, Alexander <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I will summarize what the problem is.
