A setter and getter for 'accelerationEfficiency' attribute.

Specifying allowVignette with some countries X is equivalent to specifying avoidVignette with all countries but X. Specifying allowVignette with an empty list is the same as avoiding all toll roads with vignettes. It is an error to specify both avoidVignette and allowVignette.

A setter and getter for 'alternativeType' attribute.

Specifies the alternative type of the calculated alternatives compared to the reference route. Possible values are:

Sets or gets the value of the option callback. This callback function will be called only after the go method successfully complete its task. Its first and unique argument passed to the callback will be the result of the request.

function callbackFn(results) {
  console.log(results);
}
tomtom.fuzzySearch()
  .query("pizza")
  .callback(callbackFn)
  .go();

A setter and getter for 'computeBestOrder' attribute.

The response will include the optimized waypoint indices. This feature can be used with a maximum of 20 route waypoints.

A setter and getter for 'constantSpeedConsumptionInkWhPerHundredkm' attribute.

Specifies the speed-dependent component of consumption. Provided as an unordered list of speed/consumption-rate pairs. The list defines points on a consumption curve. Consumption rates for speeds not in the list are found as follows:

• by linear interpolation, if the given speed lies in between two speeds in the list
• by linear extrapolation otherwise, assuming a constant (ΔConsumption/ΔSpeed) determined by the nearest two points in the list

The list must contain between 1 and 25 points (inclusive), and may not contain duplicate points for the same speed. If it only contains a single point, then the consumption rate of that point is used without further processing. Consumption specified for the largest speed must be greater than or equal to that of the penultimate largest speed. This ensures that extrapolation does not lead to negative consumption rates. Similarly, consumption values specified for the two smallest speeds in the list cannot lead to a negative consumption rate for any smaller speed. The minimum and maximum values described here refer to the valid range for the consumption values (expressed in kWh/100km).

A setter and getter for 'constantSpeedConsumptionInLitersPerHundredkm' attribute.

Specifies the speed-dependent component of consumption. Provided as an unordered list of speed/consumption-rate pairs. The list defines points on a consumption curve. Consumption rates for speeds not in the list are found as follows:

• by linear interpolation, if the given speed lies in between two speeds in the list
• by linear extrapolation otherwise, assuming a constant (ΔConsumption/ΔSpeed) determined by the nearest two points in the list.

The list must contain between 1 and 25 points (inclusive), and may not contain duplicate points for the same speed. If it only contains a single point, then the consumption rate of that point is used without further processing. Consumption specified for the largest speed must be greater than or equal to that of the penultimate largest speed. This ensures that extrapolation does not lead to negative consumption rates. Similarly, consumption values specified for the two smallest speeds in the list cannot lead to a negative consumption rate for any smaller speed. The minimum and maximum values described here refer to the valid range for the consumption values (expressed in l/100km).

A setter and getter for 'downhillEfficiency' attribute.

Specifies the efficiency of converting potential energy to saved (not consumed) fuel when the vehicle loses elevation (i.e. ChemicalEnergySaved/PotentialEnergyLost). ChemicalEnergySaved is obtained by converting saved (not consumed) fuel to energy using fuelEnergyDensityInMJoulesPerLiter.

Getter and setter for energyBudgetInkWh.

Sets or gets the value of the option fail. This function is called when an error occurs (e.g. invalid values or a communication error). The callback will receive just one argument which is the error description. This parameter will be ignored if the callback function is not defined and therefore the go method will return a Promise that will be rejected if an error occurs. If you don't specificy a failure callback, the default behavior in case of encounter a problem is to throw an error.

function successCallback(results) {
  console.log(results);
}
function failureCallback(error) {
  console.log(error);
}
tomtom.fuzzySearch()
  .query("pizza")
  .callback(successCallback)
  .fail(failureCallback)
  .go();

Getter and setter for fuelBudgetInLiters.

A setter and getter for 'fuelEnergyDensityInMJoulesPerLiter' attribute.

Specifies the amount of chemical energy stored in one liter of fuel in megajoules (MJ). It is used in conjunction with the *Efficiency parameters for conversions between saved or consumed energy and fuel. For example, energy density is 34.2 MJ/l for gasoline, and 35.8 MJ/l for Diesel fuel.

Executes a predefined asynchronous task using the current configuration and then execute one of the callback functions based on the success of the result. It receives two optional arguments. The first one is a callback function that will be used when the task is successfully completed. The second one is another callback function that will be used only in case of failure. Both arguments are shortcuts for the callback and fail methods respectively.

// Defining callbacks as function arguments
tomtom.fuzzySearch()
  .query("pizza")
  .go(successCallback, failureCallback);

// Defining callbacks using setters methods
tomtom.fuzzySearch()
  .query("pizza")
  .callback(successCallback)
  .fail(failureCallback)
  .go();

// Using the returned Promise
tomtom.fuzzySearch()
  .query("pizza")
  .go()
  .then(successCallback)
  .catch(failureCallback);

A getter and setter for the 'supportingPoints' attribute.

Can be used to set supporting points for constructing (or reconstructing) a route and for calculating alternative routes to a base route. The provided sequence of supporting points is used as input for route reconstruction.

Pseudo examples:

• If the base route is A > B and we include a supporting point C, the result will be A > C > B;
• Supporting points can be used to reconstruct entirely a route you previously had: Let's illustrate the problem. To go from A > B you received A > C > D > E > B. If later, you try to generate the same route (A > B) you might get different middle points, so if you need to generate the exact same route you previously had you can do something like routing().locations(A, B).supportingPoints(C, D, E)

You can use one of the following input formats to define the supporting points:

• String: '52.3,4.8' or '52.3,4.8:52.37,4.87'
• String[]: ['52.3,4.8:52.37,4.87', '52.3,4.8:52.37,4.87']
• Object: {lat: 52.3, lon: 4.8} or {lat: 53.3, lng: 5.8} or {x: 53.3, y: 5.8} or {latitude: 53.3, longitude: 5.8}
• Object[]: [{lat: 52.3, lon: 4.8}] or [{lat: 53.3, lng: 5.8}]

How 'Supporting Points' differ from 'Waypoints?' - Waypoints are points where the calculated route will go through, but the resulting route might be different from search to search, the waypoints order might not be necessarilly respected when calculating the best route, and finally, there is a limit to the number of waypoints you can use in a route calculation. Supporting points can be used to contruct a previous route entirely, or parts of it, using the previous generated points, meaning that there is no limit to the number of points, and the order of these points will be respected.
