route planners
Journey mapping software
Route planners are tools or services that calculate optimal paths between locations.
Digital route planners—whether standalone GPS devices, smartphone apps, or web services—consider distance, traffic, road conditions, and user preferences to suggest the best way to get somewhere: The route planner suggested avoiding the highway due to an accident.
The term also applies to people whose job involves planning routes for delivery fleets or transit systems.
