Very cool product. Routes are indeed a fascinating topic. I wonder what a fully re-worked routing would do for this technology. Obviously not a 0 to 1 problem, but might be worthy demonstrating what a re-worked route plan could do. For hundreds of years, trade by sea was dictated by wind patterns. Today, it no longer is - but imagine what would be possible if routes took advantage of trade winds using this technology.
