Azure Maps Route API Version 1.0 Replacement not available

We are looking at updating our Azure Maps integration to switch off of the soon to be retired 1.0 version of the APIs.

However, one of the functions of the API that we currently use is the Get Route Directions API.

As I understand it, in the 2025-01-01 API specification, Get Route Directions has changed from a HTTP GET request to a HTTP POST request.

The problem is that we use a page similar to this tutorial which continues to use the 1.0 GET API.

My searching for a suitable replacement using 2025-01-01 has not been successful. Even the Azure Maps sample continues to use 1.0 GET as of today.

What is our path for replacement using 2025-01-01?
