Provided herein is a method of generating and communicating map version agnostic road identifiers. Methods may include: providing an indication of a route request between an origin and a destination; receiving a list of road link identifiers in response to the route request; in response to the first road link identifier not corresponding to a road link identifier of a network of road link identifiers: applying an XOR function to the first road link identifier and a subsequent road link identifier in the list of road link identifiers; in response to a result of the XOR function applied to the first road link identifier and the subsequent identifier corresponding with a road link identifier of the network of road link identifiers, adding the road link identifier of the network of road link identifiers to the route.
