Route Planner is a Road Map and Route Planning application developed to run on Psion Series 3a, 3c and 3mx machines. It will provide you with the best route meeting your own personal criteria and circumvent any avoided areas you have indicated. From destination to departure, through up to four stopovers.

| Summary of features

Route Planner will find the quickest, shortest or preferred route to your destination (& back), provide you with detailed driving instructions and a route summary with total distance and estimated driving time. Simply provide departure and destination (and up to 4 stopovers) and Route Planner will suggest a route. The 'Preferred route' Route Planner plans is based on your personal preferences such as, your preferred road types or areas you want to avoid travelling through. Route Planner will provide you with the best route meeting your own personal criteria and circumvent any avoided areas you have indicated.

| The map view

The Map view displays what you would expect to see on a road map. You can display any section of the map at any scale, zoom in or out, and easily set the level of detail you wish to be shown. There are various ways of displaying location names, road names, routes, legends, and scales.

| Driving instructions

The Table view displays the driving instructions of the planned route. There is also a "split" view (shown below) on which you can follow your route on the map as you go through the list of instructions at the same time.
You can select between many different ways of displaying driving instructions, at many different levels of detail. You can change the font used for the driving instructions independently of the fonts used for the map.
The following screenshot shows a planned route which circumvents an area you wish to avoid:

| Adding your own locations

Route Planner also allows you to add new locations. The most important locations can be assigned to the numerical keys (0-9), but there is no limit to what you can put in an overlay. An overlay is a collection of locations that you can add. These locations of personal interest could be historical sites, where friends or relatives live, etc.
You can design your own icons for an overlay. Railway stations and airports are included for some countries as an overlay file.

| GPS (Global Positioning System)

Route Planner also provides longitude/latitude support and most GPS devices (with NMEA-output) can be used to position the cursor on the map. With such a device attached you'll always be able to find your way.
