The navigation service can provide navigation information to a user of the software application. The application programming interface can include a second set of instructions specifying one or more second parameters to control interaction with a navigation engine provided by the navigation data provider via the application programming interface. The application programming interface can further include a waypoint function specified as part of the first instructions operable to set a plurality of waypoints for a navigation route. The application programming interface can be operable to receive a multi-waypoint navigation route determined based on the plurality of waypoints.
