gordon_dunn Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Just wondering if any of you have any knowledge of any useful software that can optimise a series of waypoints into the shortest possible route? I've seen a few examples but they only provide 'road navigation' routes- not what I need for flying. I have about 70 points that I want to include in my route, and they form a cluster. I may break the series up into a number of different flights, as the geographical area is quite large- approx 10miles east/west. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptwizz Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Gordon, At what level do you want software? If you just want an algorithm, google 'travelling salesman problem'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon_dunn Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Had a flight tonight and realised that so many waypoints at once is not such a good idea. I concentrated on 8 points- much easier to manage, and photos worked out perfectly. It will just take a bit longer to do, but the quality of the pictures is the most important issue.
