Changes

The '''Options''' button on the top right opens the options dialog with several settings.These have impact on the user interface, the address finding and routing of stops. [[File:Options.jpg]]

These options impact the route finding: * Optimize routes - if If disabled, the order of your destinations will not optimizedbe re-ordered. * Type of vehicle - The mode of transport used for routing. * Number of rounds - Divide stops over [[multiple rounds]], e.g. drivers, vehicles or days. * Balance - Optimize total travel time vs clock time needed to finish all rounds (makespan). * Max roundtime - Maximum duration of a round when dividing stops.  * Home address - The default departure address that will automagically be added to the map each time. * Default departure time - Your departure time from which arrival times are calculated. * Default service time - The default service time, used for arrival times and time windows. Changes will only apply to newly added addresses. * Navigate with - The service used for turn-by-turn gps navigation, started by the [[Navigate]] button or [[Fulfillment]] dialog. == Advanced == These settings are advanced feature to impact the route planning [[Algorithm]]. They may be experimental or may give unexpected results. Use with care. * Turn penalty - adds turn costs to the algorithm, e.g. add 10 seconds to each left turn. * Stop penalty - adds roadside costs to the algorithm, e.g. add 120 seconds to each stop on the left side. == Geocoding ==

Home address - These settings impact [[Geocoding]], which is the default departure address that will be added to process of finding addresses on the map each time.

Default departure time * Geocoding preference - departure time from which arrival times are calculatedThe geocoder service that is used for your addresses.

Default service time * API key - default service timeYour optional API key for geocoding services, used for arrival times and time windowshigh volume users only. Keep empty for normal usage.

Geocoding preference * Suffix address - Text to be added to addresses when sent to the geocoder [[geocoding]] service . May be used for finding addresses on the mapto add a city, state and/or country.

Suffix address * Replace tabs - suffix added to If enabled, any tab in your addresses will be replaced with a comma. This may improve geocoding when send to geocoding servicecopying addresses from spreadsheet.

* Search area - Sets the area to look for addresses on the map. Select XS for small (e.g. village) and XL for large area (e.g. world). * Check address precise - gives If enabled, a warning if is given when a [[geocoding ]] service does not return a precise result, e.g. no street or house number. * Add what3words: Enable to add the unique 3 words address from the [https://what3words.com/ What3words] system to each location you enter.

These options impact the appearance of the [[user interface]]: * [[Map style ]] - select Select another theme for the map. Note that the [[algorithm]] will always use OpenStreetMap for your routes, no matter what map style the user interface has. * Retina maps - Use high resolution maps on retina screens. Some map styles may show very small characters. * Show labels - Add text labels for each location to the map next to the marker. * Buttons with text - If disabled, the buttons on the website do not show text. * Desktop notifications - Display a notification when a route has been found. * Time format - Select 12h or 24h clock, e.g. for displaying arrival times.

Retina maps * CSV seperator - allow Character to be used to split fields in the use of high resolution maps (only on retina screens and when available)CSV [[download]].

Maps * CSV fields - Select the columns to be included in driving directions - add detailed maps the CSV file. Keep empty for destinations in the driving directionsdefault, or use: ''stop, address, name, distance, duration, comment, servicetime, demand, heading, arrival, ready, due'' (case-sensitive, use only lowercase)

Buttons with text * Maps in driving directions - if disabledAdd detailed maps for destinations in the [[driving directions]]. * Print all details - Add [[driving directions]] and travel distance and duration between stops. * Print width - The page width when printing (default: 800px). * Map height - The map height when printing (default: 400px). When set to 0, the buttons on the website do map will not show textbe printed.

Units These parameters are used for [[Find route|route finding]] and [[savings]]: * Unit of distance, /volume and /weight plus , currency - whatever Whatever you like, need or know. Note that you'll need to save the options to have the new units displayed in the next three settings:parameters.

* Avg fuel economy, fuel costs and avg carbon emission - only Only used for savings calculation, has no impact on optimization.

* Speed - the The percentage of the normal speed to use in planning. Use 100% for normal speed. If our routes are too fast, e.g. total travel time is too small, use a value below 100%. If our routes are too slow, use a value above 100%. * Unit of capacity: Select the unit to be used for capacity restrictions in [[multiple rounds]]. E.g. use "m3" if your vehicles have a maximum volume they can load. * Capacities: Sets the capacity for each round, such as vehicles. One number for each round, seperated by spaces. E.g. set to "6 6 6 6" if four vehicles have maximum 6 m3 capacity.
