Map Matching API

Noisy GPS in. Clean roads out.

Snap raw GPS traces to the road network — the foundation of accurate mileage, driver analytics, and your own traffic layer.

What it does

The Map Matching API takes a sequence of noisy GPS points and returns the most probable path along the road network, with per-point snap confidence, matched geometry, and true traveled distance.

It runs in batch for historical analytics and in streaming mode for live tracking — the same engine that powers Symt’s probe-based traffic profiles, running on your fleet’s data, inside your perimeter.

Key features

Engineered for the hot path.

HMM-based matcher

Hidden-Markov matching robust to urban-canyon noise, tunnels, and 30-second ping intervals.

True mileage

Road-network distance per trip — the number your driver payouts and fuel audits should use.

Streaming mode

Match live pings with ~100 ms latency for on-trip displays and geofence events.

Gap inference

Reconstructs the probable path across signal dropouts instead of drawing straight lines.

Speed extraction

Per-edge observed speeds feed your private traffic layer automatically.

Privacy by locality

Fleet traces are competitive intelligence. With Symt they never leave your infrastructure.

Why teams switch

Hosted road-snapping APIs bill $10 per 1,000 requests, cap traces at 100 points per call, and your fleet’s traces flow through a third party.

Symt matches unlimited-length traces on your own nodes — your movement graph stays yours.
