Compute route distance matrices via Google Maps, settled per-call on Tempo L2.
What it does
This MPP (Micropayment Protocol) endpoint wraps the Google Maps Routes API's computeRouteMatrix method, which calculates travel distance and duration for multiple origin-destination pairs in a single request. The endpoint is hosted on Tempo's MPP gateway at googlemaps.mpp.tempo.xyz and is intended to settle payments in pathUSD on the Tempo L2 network.
The underlying Google Maps computeRouteMatrix API accepts a set of origins and destinations and returns a matrix of route-level distance and ETA information. It supports driving, walking, bicycling, and transit travel modes, along with options for traffic-aware routing, route modifiers, and departure/arrival time constraints. Results include distance in meters, duration, and status for each origin-destination pair.
Note: During probing, the endpoint returned 404 on both HEAD and GET requests, and all crawled pages on the provider origin also returned 404 (Not Found). This may indicate the endpoint expects POST requests exclusively (consistent with the Google Maps computeRouteMatrix API which is POST-only), or it may indicate the endpoint is not currently live. No pricing information, documentation, or OpenAPI schema was discovered. Treat this listing as a stub until the endpoint can be verified with a POST request containing a valid request body.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Computing travel times between multiple warehouse locations and delivery addresses for logistics optimization
- —Building fare estimation features that need distance and duration for many pickup-dropoff pairs
- —Generating isochrone-like analyses by computing route durations from one origin to many destinations
- —Comparing transit vs driving times across a grid of locations for urban planning tools
Fit
Best for
- —Agents needing batch route distance/duration calculations without a Google Maps API key
- —Pay-per-call access to Google Maps route matrix without monthly billing commitments
- —Programmatic multi-modal travel time estimation settled via crypto micropayments
Not for
- —Single point-to-point directions where a simpler directions endpoint suffices
- —Use cases requiring real-time navigation or turn-by-turn guidance
- —High-volume production workloads where a direct Google Maps API key would be more cost-effective

Quality
The endpoint returned 404 on HEAD and GET probes, no MPP 402 challenge was captured, and all crawled pages returned Not Found. No schema, pricing, or documentation is available. The listing is inferred entirely from the URL path and knowledge of the Google Maps computeRouteMatrix API. This is effectively a stub.
Warnings
- —Endpoint returned 404 on both HEAD and GET — may require POST method or may not be live
- —No MPP 402 payment challenge was captured; pricing and payment terms are unknown
- —All pages on the provider origin (root, /docs, /api, /pricing, /README) returned 404
- —Request and response examples are inferred from the Google Maps Routes API documentation, not from this endpoint directly
- —Cannot confirm the endpoint is operational without a POST-method probe
