Voyager: Route Planner 1.2.5
Voyager helps you plan the optimal (fastest) route to traveltomultiple locations. Examples: travellers visitingdifferentsightseeing landmarks, explorers planning road trips,realtorsscheduling open house visits, businesses (e.g.,couriers/deliverypeople) optimizing their service routes. For allabove cases, thisRoute Planner is a great choice for you!How is it different from othersimilarapps?I love travelling and exploring new places. One of thebiggestproblems for me was to find an optimized route to travel toall myplanned destinations in a trip. However, there was no arouteplaning app that satisfied all my requirements. The majorissues Ihad with other apps were: they were not truly free, toocomplex touse (too many overkill features for me), and requiredaccess to mycontact book.So, as an engineer, I decided to build something that myfriendsand I would like to use for our next trips. With that inmind, myroute planner:1) is completely Free and AD-Free (I don't plan to make evenonepenny from it);2) has a clean minimalist design. Simple and very intuitivetouse;3) does NOT require any extra permissions such as accessingyourcontact book or GPS.How is it different from Google maps?Google maps returns directions based on the order you enteryourstops. However, this may not be the fastest route for visitingyourdestinations (assuming order does not matter). This app willreturnthe optimal order to you and ensure it is the fastestroute.How does it work?Optimal route calculation is done based on data from theGoogledirections service. The end result will be displayed on aGooglemap with the direction details. Internet connection isrequiredwhile doing the math. After calculation, the optimal routewill besaved locally and can be accessed offline later. There arethreetravel modes: driving, walking, and bicycling.Note for users:The auto-complete feature is provided by Google Maps API. If itdoesnot work properly, there are three possibilities: 1.TheInternetconnection is currently not good; 2.The Google Maps APIservice iscurrently not working properly; 3.The Google Maps APIservice (notthe actual Google Maps app) has some compatibilityissues with yourdevice...For any of the above causes, I can't doanything about it,sorry :(This app is completely free (no even ads). I wouldreallyappreciate if you may take this into account when rating theapp:-) The app only uses the free version of the Google Maps API.Ifyou are looking for an app that could handle some seriousworkload(e.g., 150 stop points in one route), I would suggest youtocheckout those commercial (paid) route planners.Note for computer science graduates:As we all know, the travelling salesman problem (TSP) isNP-hard.This app uses two methods to calculate the optimal route:1) abrute force approach when the number of destinations is small,and2) a set of approximation algorithms when the number islarge.
