New feauters: Choosing a route for car navigation: short, fast, convenient, or cheap.

[korrben-dallas]

Problem: Navigation systems typically plot the shortest or fastest routes.

As part of developing car navigation features, we propose expanding the route planning functionality based on the following parameters:

1. Shortest route – the shortest route in kilometers
2. Fastest route – the shortest travel time
3. Most convenient route – the route along main roads with minimal maneuvering
4. Cheapest route – the route with the lowest estimated cost

We could add an algorithm for calculating route costs based on user-specified values ​​for urban and suburban fuel consumption and the cost of fuel used. Using these three parameters, we calculate the fuel consumption in liters for each route section and multiply it by the cost. Tolls for toll roads are added to the cost calculation.

This way, by comparing the costs of different routes, we can choose the most cost-effective route.

This functionality has not been seen in navigation apps before.

Idea #2895 proposed introducing fuel cost data into the app.
