    Publication number: 20130054141
    Abstract: A route finding system comprising a memory, GPS device, library of maps, an optimization algorithm and means for capturing user input and outputting data. The user input includes points, goals, constraints and relative preferences. Goals and constraints include characteristics of the route such as the type of road, number of turns, and traffic. The relative preferences are converted into numerical weights, positive or negative. In addition, the system integrates social networks' ratings and comments to further enhance route selection.
