The Route optimisation process:

  • Loads all of the Turning Points from the GPX, KML or KMZ file.
  • Removes unnecessary intermediate Turning Points. This tends to pick the shortest path to minimise your paddle time.
  • Pre-calculates all the statistics required to track your paddling including:
    • Distance from start and finish
    • Turn angles
    • Bisect Line coordinates and angle
    • Waypoint locations and labels.
  • Stores the Route in an internal database for faster performance and allows KayakNav to handle as many routes of virtually any size without memory issues.
