We are pleased to make available a free routing application for use in logistics and other industries requiring the planning of an itinerary based on the drive time between a number of locations.

The application is a demonstration of our Drive Time API and data and allows you to select a number of locations that together form a route plan.  The software then calculates the estimated driving time between each location and produces a PDF itinerary for you to download or print.

Locations can be selected by clicking on the map in the order of the journey, entering postcodes in a list or choosing from a list of major towns and cities.

Additionally you can create a 'Return to Base' leg to automatically include the trip from the last location back to the start location, specify a 'waiting time' at each location to allow for field visits, pickup or drop off times and also set a journey start time to obtain an accurate itinerary to match your day.

Example uses of this kind of application include :

  • Health visitors planning their rounds to visit patients,
  • Travelling salesmen visiting prospective clients,
  • Logistics and delivery companies planning van and truck routes,
  • Building Inspectors visiting different build sites.

The application is only an example and is not intended for full commercial use.  If you would like to discuss this application or obtain a quotation for a customised, dedicated or enhanced solution then please let us know here.
