Description
Optimising waypoint order
Waypoint order optimisation is a very useful free feature in MapFactor Navigator apps for Android and iOS.
Independently from the order in which you have entered the waypoints or the way you searched for it and input it, Navigator optimises their sequence and thus makes the route shorter, saves your time and fuel.
