Desenvolvimento de um módulo de roteirização com integração à API do Google Maps

Abstract

This work presents the development of a routing module integrated with the Google Maps API, aiming to provide a reusable, extensible, and efficient solution for applications that require route generation between multiple geographic points. The proposal emerged from the needs identified in the Rota dos Ipês project, which seeks to map urban trees and promote their environmental appreciation. However, the conceived module was designed independently, allowing its application in various contexts and systems. The study addresses the main features of the Google Maps API, the technical requirements for integration, communication strategies with external services, and best practices regarding authentication, security, and error handling. The adopted methodology is exploratory and technological, based on bibliographic and documentary research. As a result, a functional module with robust and well-structured architecture was developed and published as an open source package on npm, capable of supporting immediate integration in real applications and contributing to the advancement of routing and geolocation solutions in the context of software development.
