A batch mode route request contains one <start_location> element and one or more <end_location> elements.
The result of a batch mode route request contains multiple routes. Each route is from the start ___location to one of the end locations. Each route in a batch mode request is completely separate from all the other routes except for the shared start ___location.
Batch mode route requests may contain several batch mode specific attributes. These attributes include cutoff_distance and sort_by_distance. These attributes are explained in Route Request XML Schema Definition.
