Calculate actual route time and distance with Waze API.

From: Budapest, Hungary - to: Gyor, Hungary
Time 69.27 minutes, distance 120.91 km.
calc_route_info returns a tuple (route_time, route_distance) in addition to logging.
from_address and to_address are required. The address can also be coordinates.
region is optional, and defaults to "EU". region can be one of:
- EU (Europe)
- US or NA (North America)
- IL (Israel)
Region is used for address searching. Setting base coord parameter. (Removed from route server selection. Looping through all route servers.)
vehicle_type is also optional, and defaults to "" which is private. vehicle_type can be one of:
- TAXI
- MOTORCYCLE
Time to destination will be adjusted based on the mode of transport.

From: Budapest, Hungary - to: Gyor, Hungary
Time 112.92 minutes, distance 124.93 km.
avoid_toll_roads is also optional, and defaults to False. Setting avoid_toll_roads to True
will only return results not on a tollway.

will only return results not involving a subscription road (toll roads in coutries that use vignettes).

will only return results not involving a ferry.

route.calc_route_info()You can get multiple routes using the route.calc_all_routes_info() function:
import WazeRouteCalculator
logger = logging.getLogger('WazeRouteCalculator.WazeRouteCalculator')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
handler = logging.StreamHandler()
logger.addHandler(handler)
from_address = 'Budapest, Hungary'
to_address = 'Gyor, Hungary'
region = 'EU'
route = WazeRouteCalculator.WazeRouteCalculator(from_address, to_address, region)
route.calc_all_routes_info()python example.py
From: Budapest, Hungary - to: Győr, Hungary
Start coords: (47.467660814, 19.077617881)
End coords: (47.67936706542969, 17.707035064697266)

calc_all_routes_info takes an optional single parameter, the number of routes to fetch. Note that the Waze API may not return as many possibilities as requested. The function returns a dict: {'routeType-shortRouteName': (route_time1, route_distance1), 'routeType-shortRouteName': (route_time2, route_distance2), ...}.
You can pass real_time=False to calc_route_info or calc_all_routes_info to get the time estimate not including current conditions, but rather the average travel time for the current time. This would avoid something like traffic accidents or construction that is slowing down traffic abnormally on the day you run it from messing up the data. Note that this is not the same as travel time with no traffic at all, it is simply the usual traffic.
Sometimes you may want to map travel times between cities and just see how long it takes to get from one to other. However, Waze's API will take you between two specific spots in the city, which can add to the time and distance, especially in larger cities.
You can pass stop_at_bounds=True to calc_route_info or calc_all_routes_info and it will ignore travel within the origin and destination cities.

route.calc_route_info()
Time 72.42 minutes, distance 121.33 km.You can pass time_delta=<int> to calc_route_info or calc_all_routes_info to set the leave time from now. The value (minute) can be negative so you can step back and forward. Default 0 = now.
The following example shows route info from now + 60 minute.

From: Budapest, Hungary - to: Gyor, Hungary
route.calc_route_info(time_delta=60)
