Description

Measurement

Fastest Route

Calculate the fastest route, focusing on minimizing travel time. This takes into account traffic conditions, road speed limits, and other factors.

Time

Shortest Route

Calculate the shortest route, minimizing the distance traveled. This is often used when distance is the key factor, such as reducing fuel costs or emissions.

Distance

Optimize waypoint
