⚠️ Google removed DirectionsService, DistanceMatrixService, Heatmap Layer & Drawing Library — YOUR APP IS BREAKING RIGHT NOW
🚨 HAPPENING NOW — MAY 2026

Google just killed 4 Maps APIs. Your app is throwing errors right now.

DirectionsService, DistanceMatrixService, Heatmap Layer, and Drawing Library were removed from the Maps JavaScript API. If your app uses any of these — it's broken. We fix it.

💀

Your routing is dead

DirectionsService and DistanceMatrixService return errors. Delivery apps, real estate sites, logistics platforms — all broken.

🗺️

Not a simple rename

Google is forcing a full architectural shift — browser-side JS to server-side REST (Routes API). This isn't a find-and-replace.

😰

Your customers see errors

Every user who tries to get directions, calculate distances, or use heatmaps sees a broken experience.

💰

Routes API costs more

Google's replacement costs 3-5x more. We can migrate you to MapAtlas — same features, fraction of the price.

Emergency migration. Fixed price.

We find every broken endpoint, migrate to Routes API (or cheaper alternative), and deploy.

  • Your app uses DirectionsService or DistanceMatrixService
  • You have a delivery/logistics/real estate platform
  • Your map has heatmaps, drawing tools, or routing
  • You want it fixed fast with no downtime

Quick answers

Which APIs exactly were removed?

DirectionsService, DistanceMatrixService, Heatmap Layer (visualization library), and Drawing Library — all from the Maps JavaScript API. Your browser-side code calling new google.maps.DirectionsService() fails now.

What's the replacement?

Google wants you to use the Routes API (server-side REST). We can also migrate you to MapAtlas — identical functionality, 3-5x cheaper than Google's Routes API.

How fast can you fix this?

Single-component fixes in 24 hours. Full migration in 3-7 working days. We start within 24 hours of booking.
