**Summary:** Direct distance calculation between exactly one origin and one destination.

- Point-to-point is the distance calculation between exactly one origin and one destination, with no intermediate stops.
- The default mode for simple receipts.
- Routing APIs return driving distance in seconds.
- For multi-stop trips, waypoints with optimization are more efficient than chaining individual point-to-point calculations.
