Current behavior

Details about individual route segments such as distance/duration is missing when instructions are disabled via instructions = false parameter.

Expected behavior

The response is expected contain a segments entry listing distances and duration of individual route segments.

It would make also sense to include the snapped start and end coordinates of each segment.
