App Profile: Route Optimize

Sawdust & Noise

Rating: 3/5

Route is optimized only for driving distance, not time, and no way to change that. I tried it on a familiar 60 minute drive. The app shortened the driving distance by two miles, but drive time is 50% longer -- 90 minutes. Through a complicated series of turns in major city traffic, it put me on a narrow, twisty, hilly two lane road for a ten mile stretch which closely parallels a fast interstate highway. Optimal? In terms of distance, yes, but at great cost in time and significantly greater fuel burn. App is of no practical use to me.

I start my day at the same place everyday. I need to be able to optimize my stops based on that fact.

I’ve been looking for this for years and years. My old circa the year 2000 Microsoft maps app could do this and since then I’ve never seen this feature until today. My prayers have been answered. App works great.
