I have built 2 vending routes The tool says that one of my locations is about 8-10 miles from the actual location. That is just totally unacceptable for mapping out the route.

Really appreciate it. Pointing out the js file with the code was a boon too. Rohan Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it. Pointing out the js file with the code was a boon too.

The algorithms used by optimap (in BpTspSolver.js) can be modified to handle the extra restrictions of time windows, but it is not trivial to do so. Depending on how many stops you are planning for, modify only the appropriate algorithm (tspBruteForce if 10 or less, tspDynamic if 15 or less, or tspAntColonyK2 if more).

I was trying to find the proper algorithm to do the same thing for a project. The behind the scenes page puts everything just perfectly. Could you help me with adding appointment times to the optimap. That is what I have to work on right now. To put it very concisely some nodes will have unavailable times listed as well and cannot be visited at those times. To finish my project I have to add that functionality. Could you help me or redirect me to some site where I could find a solution? Thanks Rohan Hi,

I'm always curious to know how people are using OptiMap. Let me know if there's anything I can change or add to make your day easier :-) Hi Terrance,

Thanks for the kind words. I’m always curious to know how people are using OptiMap. Let me know if there’s anything I can change or add to make your day easier :-)

Thank so very very much for this. I'm starting a new job where I have to go to multiple locations and was wondering how I would be able to figure out the best route and print driving directions. I had a conversation about this with a friend that I know with an interest in math. He told me about the salesman problem. I did a web search on that and it lead me to your site. You are a godsend!
