Garmin basecamp

0 comments

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Garmin Basecamp does not do route optimization at all. You can't use it to plan routes for 5 delivery vehicles and throw in some business rules like capacity, orders size, time windows, driver's shifts etc.

-create a bunch of waypoints

-select them, create route from selected waypoints

-then right click your route, Optimize Route

You can optimize based on car or truck presets (yeah you can't truck everywhere), shortest/fastest, and export GPX. MMS it to drivers etc. The rest are some bells and whistles.

Thanks for clarifying - yes this looks like single-vehicle TSP without any business rules/side constraints. Not usable for many vehicles either.
