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.
-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.
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.
Asking your dev team to prioritize deploying updates to your markdown site is also intimidating. In most companies, everyone outside of engineering has a view of engineering that “Developers hate to be interrupted and need everything scheduled in a sprint 2 weeks in advance” - when marketing teams decide between Wordpress and a markdown system managed by the dev team, the choice is obvious (avoid anything that requires dev getting involved)
Easy GUI for writing and publishing to production, with no-code installable plugins that extend functionality, is exactly what Wordpress offers that markdown does not.
Yeah I run wp2static on clients, cancel the hosting then push the files to vercel/cloudflare pages/github pages.
A PHP version is vulnerable. If you upgrade it, some plugin breaks. If you manually upgrade the offending plugin, the pesky developer now wants a subscription. Just a nono. I build on Hugo.
Many (some very large) companies would not allow that route; their marketing team is trained on wp and they specifically implemented it (in the EU this is per country generally) to sidestep the head office enterprise cms that is unusable and takes days of workflow steps to get anything published; they want more dynamic, not less and they want less techy not more.
I think your question answers itself if you look from the perspective of a non-technical marketing person who's used to WYSIWYG tools, rather than a programmer who's reading a site called Hacker News.
Yes, I know, I use it too. But github is hardly usable by non technical users , nor is markdown. We are talking about marketing deps of billion$ companies.
