We need to avoid or put low priority on certain road types such as Toll Roads and Ferries when sending a RouteRequest. I found in the REST API the "avoid" parameter (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff701717.aspx), but our application is using
the Bing Maps SOAP API. I did not find any options for this in the RouteReqeust or the MajorRoutesRequest objects.
The MapPoint Web Service allows for preferred roads to be set allowing a weight to be set on Ferries, Highways, MajorRoads. MinorRoads and TollRoads (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc514584.aspx). We are currently using this functionality
of the MapPoint Web Service, but I received notice that the MapPoint Web service will be retired on November 18, 2011.
How is this handled in the Bing Maps SOAP API? Does the Bing Maps REST API simply support features that the SOAP API does not?
