Thanks! Yes I'm designing landing at the moment to showcase ready optimization results straight away.

You're right, I must've been living in Germany long enough to have it imprinted in my subconscious :)


Thanks very much!


Yes eventually.

It will be an open-core model once monetization is figured out.

With this said, the idea is to have all functionality you see at the moment (and even more in the future) as forever free.


Thanks! I just not sure Amazon DSP drivers can use that mobile app from Google with their 300-stops Flex itineraries.

By the way Routing24 works on mobile, optimizing when offline too. It's just the current app is designed for desktop and route planners. Solver itself works on any 5 y.o. brick with shattered camera like a charm.


When you say it is working offline, do you mean it fetches the OSM data offline and calculates the distance matrix offline or only the route optimization e.g. for when reordering or adding constraints?

btw: thanks for using photon for geocoding ;)


Hi there, and thank you for being a Photon contributor! I plan to contribute back OpenAddresses import soon.

Currently distance/duration matrix is built server-side yes. Eventually this part will be fully local too.

Working on "tiled" CH first and then CCH. I haven't even investigated patent and license situation around customizable contraction hierarchies yet.


Do you mean Garmin Basecamp or Basecamp{dot}com?


Garmin basecamp


Correct me if I'm wrong, but Garmin Basecamp does not do route optimization at all. You can't use it to plan routes for 5 delivery vehicles and throw in some business rules like capacity, orders size, time windows, driver's shifts etc.


-create a bunch of waypoints

-select them, create route from selected waypoints

-then right click your route, Optimize Route

You can optimize based on car or truck presets (yeah you can't truck everywhere), shortest/fastest, and export GPX. MMS it to drivers etc. The rest are some bells and whistles.


Thanks for clarifying - yes this looks like single-vehicle TSP without any business rules/side constraints. Not usable for many vehicles either.


Sure, but r24 ignores road restrictions and outputs spreadsheets (lol) instead of proper GPX.


Both sounds like proper features which are not covered yet, thanks for your input!

I already have support for >1 vehicle profiles that uses more than 1 distance/duration matrix for different vehicle types.

This is a wider subject however, that includes road closures and time-dependent access. Also truck routing attributes have questionable quality in default OSM, therefor we do not specifically advertise truck routing for now.

I'll definitely consider an option to have GPX export when will be implementing dispatching to drivers in the future.

However it is always better to dispatch to your own mobile app and call external navigation for point-to-point route, this is a more standard use case rather than opening a multi-stop route directly in navigation app.


All from public domain and competitive programming + some proprietary modifications + multithreading is custom too. It's free but not open source yet.


have you tried this? https://github.com/reinterpretcat/vrp

they have wasm version and support a lot of options


Sure, I'm aware of that one and no, not using it.


Thanks! Eventually, yes - in any language supported by LLVM.
