## SDK 11.0 (2018-12-12)

Summary

Switched multi country routing to work without the need of a major roads net

When routing between two or more different maps, so far you have needed an addition-al map “Major Roads of Europe” to help you find a route. With this release you no longer need that map.

By implementing this change, several additional new features or improvements are now available:

  • Alternative routes are now available for multi-country-routes as well
  • The performance when calculating alternative routes in a single-country-routing has been strongly improved
  • When crossing a border, we will offer a quicker rerouting to a different border whenever it makes sense

Info

So do you need the Major Roads map any more? No – if you have all detailed map data, you don´t need the Major Roads map and can delete it in existing installations.

BCR support

From SDK 11.0 we support loading and saving of BCR files. This allows you to exchange tours with other PTV products like PTV Navigator, PTV xServer or PTV Map&Guide.

Attention

The start station of the tour will be set to the first station in the file ("STATION1"). All following stations in the file will be handled as destinations. SVP points are supported and will be properly added to the tour.

We now cover startup error handling in our tutorials for Android and iOS, improved the tutorials overall and fixed some bugs in them.
