About this tool

This tool is a web-based multi-stop route optimization utility built on top of Leaflet, Placematic geocoding, and the HERE Waypoint Sequence (Route Optimization) API v8.

It allows a user to:

• Define up to six stops (start, four intermediate waypoints, and final destination) using:
• Address search fields powered by Placematic’s address suggestion API, or
• Preconfigured locations selected from dropdown menus, or
• Interactive clicks directly on the map (each click fills the next stop in order).
• Visualize all stops on an interactive Leaflet map with custom Placematic markers: start, numbered waypoints, and finish.
• Choose routing preferences via radio buttons, including:
• Vehicle profile (car, truck, truck with trailer, truck with hazardous goods),
• Optimization goal (e.g. improve for time or distance),
• Route mode (fastest / shortest, where applicable).
• Automatically call the HERE findsequence2 API to compute the optimal stop order and segment-by-segment connections between all waypoints.
• Inspect per-leg details returned by HERE, including:
• Individual segment distance (converted to miles),
• Individual segment travel time (formatted into minutes or hours),
• A visual summary with markers and arrows showing the optimized sequence.
• Instantly explore the full API interaction, including:
• The exact CURL request sent to the HERE Waypoint Sequence API,
• The complete JSON response, formatted and syntax-highlighted.
• Copy or download both the request and the response for debugging, documentation, or integration into other systems.

This tool is designed as a developer-friendly helper for testing, understanding, and integrating HERE Route Optimization / Waypoint Sequence capabilities.

Built for modern web workflows inside the Placematic environment, the tool offers a clean and efficient way to experiment with multi-stop routing, visualize optimized routes, and inspect raw API interactions end to end.
