Very cool! It's a bit off topic, but I used to enjoy Google's travel app, which had a feature that found the shortest path between many popular tourism destinations in a city. That way as close as I'll personally come to route optimization ;)

Thanks! I just not sure Amazon DSP drivers can use that mobile app from Google with their 300-stops Flex itineraries.

By the way Routing24 works on mobile, optimizing when offline too. It's just the current app is designed for desktop and route planners. Solver itself works on any 5 y.o. brick with shattered camera like a charm.

When you say it is working offline, do you mean it fetches the OSM data offline and calculates the distance matrix offline or only the route optimization e.g. for when reordering or adding constraints?

btw: thanks for using photon for geocoding ;)

Hi there, and thank you for being a Photon contributor! I plan to contribute back OpenAddresses import soon.

Currently distance/duration matrix is built server-side yes. Eventually this part will be fully local too.

Working on "tiled" CH first and then CCH. I haven't even investigated patent and license situation around customizable contraction hierarchies yet.
