6/15/09—Routing services for Europe and North America are now available on the ArcGIS Online Task Server. These free tools are available to use in your ArcGIS applications.

The routing capabilities are based on Tele Atlas 2008 reference data for North America and Tele Atlas 2007 reference data for Europe. The routing services enable you to generate routes and driving directions for two or more points with a limit of 5,000 routes per year, including 10 route stops and 25 barriers per route. For external commercial use of ArcGIS Online routing tools, or if you want to create more than 5,000 routes per year, subscriptions are available in blocks of 5,000 routes, including 20 route stops and 250 barriers per route.

For information on using the routing tools with the ArcGIS software of your choice, see Using free routing tools on the task server.
