The google maps api has the directions API . You can also find examples there . This thing integrates with Google Maps in a couple of lines, but it seems to be possible to use it separately. Supported types: DRIVING, BICYCLING, TRANSIT, WALKING, but not for air travel. But for them (air travel), I think it’s enough to describe a straight line (an arc, given that the earth is round), standard polylines are suitable for this.
I myself am looking for a service that qualitatively provides the opportunity to build a route from point A to point B, while I settled on the option I proposed, maybe I didn’t find anything else.
