GPS Route Export – Exporting Route4Me Optimized Routes to GPS Navigation Devices (TomTom, Garmin, and More)
GPS navigation devices are designed for guiding you from point A to point B by showing the right directions on the real-life roads. However, most, if not all, GPS devices are not suitable for planning routes with more than 2 stops that need to be visited with the best ETA’s and with the shortest distances. With Route4Me’s dynamic routing software and proprietary optimization algorithm, you can plan and optimize the most efficient and cost-effective routes with hundreds of thousands of addresses and multiple advanced constraints and then export these routes to the GPS navigation devices of your choice. Thus, you can get the best ETA’s and the shortest distances for navigating the routes of virtually any complexity using your own GPS navigation devices.
