Shortest route calculation option.

[VVStz]

Hi,

I don't know on which criteria Organic map calculate a route (be side the 4 option in Routing option (Avoid tolls .. ) )

But it could be interesting to have an option to have the shortest route. Because the fastest is not necessarily the Shortest and vice versa..

Hello, I would like to expand on this proposal by suggesting a few options that could improve the routing experience.

A) tweak the "add stop" feature to "add avoid point" in order to define points to avoid while computing the route. I usually look for real-time traffic on other apps then come back to OM and tweak the proposed routing to avoid crowded roads (manually, by adding stops elsewhere). Practically, this could be a segment rather than a point: an "avoid length" parameter (before/after) could be added in OM settings.

B) add "minimise crossroads" routing option, therefore preferring roundabouts and fewer roads change. A longer route is sometimes faster because is less prone to creating traffic. Being able to avoid crossroads (especially those with traffic lights) would be a killer feature.

These ideas are planned, please check existing issues; AFAIR, they were mentioned before.
