Added a ‘Properties’ object to the Unit Map Routing SDK (for Pathfinding). 

The Directions API (used pathfinding in the Unit Map Routing SDK) now supports an optional “properties” object on waypoint inputs.

What's changing? 

When "properties" are included in a request, they are passed through to the corresponding start and destination Maneuver objects in the route response. This allows API consumers to attach metadata (such as door identifiers, access codes, gate details, or custom labels) to route waypoints and receive that metadata back in the navigation response. This feature went live in February 2026.

What to expect: 

API consumers can now enrich routing requests with contextual metadata and receive it back in the response without modifying existing navigation structures. This unlocks use cases like attaching access instructions to specific waypoints, labeling entry points with gate or door identifiers, and building property-specific navigation experiences. The change is fully backward compatible, and requests without the properties field behave exactly as before.

What do you need to do? 

No action is required for existing integrations. To take advantage of this feature, include an optional ‘properties’ object on waypoint inputs in your Directions API requests. Documentation is here: https://developers.unitmap.com/docs/overview-1
