Optimisation of waypoints
Navigator can optimise the order of waypoints and thus make the route shorter, save your time and fuel.
Last update: August 2022
Description
The optimisation of waypoints is another very useful free feature in MapFactor Navigator apps for Android and iOS.
Independently from the order in which you have entered the waypoints, Navigator optimises their sequence and thus makes the route shorter, save your time and fuel.
Of course, this feature is handy not only for professional drivers but also for private users planning e.g. a sightseeing tour. You can find it in Route info.
How to optimise order of waypoints in Navigator
(example screenshots from Navigator 7 for Android)
Example of a route before optimisation:
Have Navigator optimise the waypoints:
Android: Go to Route info / Routing points. Tap on the 3 dots in the bottom right corner to open the action menu. Then choose Optimise.
iOS: Go to Route info. Open the menu in the top right corner. Then choose Optimise.
Order of waypoints and the new route after the optimisation:
Manage waypoints in Navigator:
You can easily manage the waypoints in the route info yourselfs as well. Tap on the waypoint to open the action menu to get the options:
- show on map
- delete
- add to My Places
- rename
In Navigator for Android you can also move the waypoint manually. Long hold the waypoint, move it to the new place and then release.
You can also have a look at this tutorial showing how you search for a destination or waypoint in mapFactor Navigator 6 (and higher) for Android.
