  title: OSRMRoute Map Matching API
  version: 1.1.0
  description: 'OSRMRoute — Maps, Routing, Truck Routing, Search, Road Data, Studio and integration APIs. Use `Authorization: Bearer ` unless an operation documents another flow. Legacy APIs also accept the key query parameter; New geospatial APIs, MCP and private map delivery require Bearer authentication. Mobile challenge/token endpoints use device attestation instead. Coordinates and units are documented per operation: GeoJSON uses longitude,latitude; some legacy and background-job inputs use latitude,longitude. Examples are illustrative, not guaranteed current results. Guides · Mobile Access · MCP · Postman collection.'

      summary: Map Matching API
      description: The Map Matching API snaps noisy GPS traces to the real road network. Raw tracking coordinates drift off the road; feed the sequence to this endpoint and it returns a clean, road-aligned path with the roads actually travelled. Essential for fleet telematics, trip reconstruction and turning scattered pings into accurate, logical route data.
