Hello there,

because I want to spend less time driving, I'd like to know if there is a free or paid-for application that would allow me to program a route, turn-by-turn, to different destinations, given a set of constraints: minimum km, minimum time, and time window allowed to be at any given point, considering roadworks and traffic conditions. I understood this is commonly used in large companies where a full-time logistics engineer is employed, but maybe a simplified version exists. Google Maps does a terrible job for this kind of planning.

Kind of like programming a delivery route; optimizing the route based on different criteria. Interesting.
 
Ok, I'll try both, see how it goes. I hope it's not too complicated to set up because I have very limited time to program routes.
