Disable Optimization and End Anywhere Optimization – Android Route Planner

Route4Me’s Android Route Planner is designed to make your routing operations and transactions as fast and flexible as possible, allowing you to plan, optimize, and navigate routes of any complexity on the go. To ensure that you get the most optimal and efficient results when optimizing your multi-stop routes, Route4Me’s Android Route Planner supports multiple types of route optimization. Planning End Anywhere routes with Disabled Optimization allows you to have full control over the sequence of destinations on your routes. When planning End Anywhere routes with Disabled Optimization, you can define the depot from which the given route starts, then place all stops on the route into a custom visitation sequence, and end the route at any preferred address. To make sure that your End Anywhere routes with Disabled Optimization and custom stops sequences are as productive and efficient as possible, Route4Me’s Android Route Planner provides the most optimal turn-by-turn driving and navigation directions.

To plan a new End Anywhere route with Disabled Optimization, first, go to “My Routes” from the navigation menu and then tap on the “Add Route” button at the bottom of the screen. Next, select the “Disable Optimization – End Anywhere” optimization type and then fill out the rest of the route’s settings to your preference (learn more).

After specifying the route’s settings, you need to set up the departure address from which the route will start. To do so, tap on the “Add Destination” button and then add the departure address using the preferred method.

After adding the departure stop, you need to add or import the addresses that you will use for planning the new route. To import addresses from your Android device, Google Drive, or Dropbox in CSV or XLS format, first, go to the “Import” tab and then select the preferred import option accordingly. To learn more about adding addresses manually, visit this page. Once you added the destinations that you want to include into the route, tap on the “Optimize” button to plan the route.

Once the route is planned, this route will start from the predefined departure address and all addresses after the route’s departure depot will be placed in the exact same sequence as they had been added or imported into the route before it was planned.

When planning End Anywhere routes with Disabled Optimization, Route4Me’s Android Route Planner creates a new route with the exact same sequence of stops as they had been added or imported into the route before this route was planned. The last stop on the End Anywhere routes with Disabled Optimization is the address that was last added to the route before it was planned. 

Comparing Alternative Optimization Types (Disable Optimization – End Anywhere vs. End Anywhere Optimization)

End Anywhere routes with Disabled Optimization allow you to predefine any preferred custom sequence of stops in your planned routes, including the last destination. Alternatively, the End Anywhere optimization type takes all imported or added addresses and optimizes your routes for the most efficient sequence of destinations with the most optimal automatically selected last destination. To plan and optimize an End Anywhere route, select the “End Anywhere” optimization type when specifying the route’s settings.

Once the route is planned, this route will start from the predefined departure address (depot), have the most efficient sequence of stops, and end at the most optimal destination.

When using the End Anywhere optimization type, Route4Me’s Android Route Planner starts the route from the predefined depot, optimizes the imported or added addresses for the most efficient sequence of stops (regardless of the order in which addresses were added or imported), and ends the route at the most optimal address.

When planning End Anywhere routes with Disabled Optimization and custom stops sequence, you will get different results from the routes optimized using the End Anywhere optimization type that automatically determines the most efficient sequence of destinations and the most optimal address to end the route. Depending on your specific operating requirements or unique business model, you may need to plan routes that are optimized by the app or have full control over the sequence of stops in your routes. With Route4Me’s Android Route Planner, you can use the End Anywhere routing with Disabled Optimization to define any preferred custom sequence of stops on your routes and manually select the last destination.
