Optimal route between several stop points

AysberqTundra — Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:29:16 GMT

Hello.

I want to find optimal route between several stop points using flex api.
i.e. I want to reorder other points except start and finish stop points for find optimal route.

Can anyone help me? Please give an example code.

Here is some documentation:
https://developers.arcgis.com/en/flex/guide/routing-tasks.htm
https://developers.arcgis.com/en/flex/api-reference/index.html?com/esri/ags/tasks/RouteTask.html&com/esri/ags/tasks/class-list.html

Here are samples which routes between multiple points. If you change the RouteParameters, you can make it optimize the route:

Is there any way to add more than 10 stops? I set out a line of insect traps and would love to optimize my route for efficiency. It is frustrating that the find route only allows 10 records including start and finish points. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rhonda

...the find route only allows 10 records...

Which route service are you using? Are you using the old service on tasks.arcgisonline.com? If so, take a look at http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=4078fece745140d7af17bf74b5f300fd which talks about the deprecation of that specific service, and the recommendation of the new World Route Service which supports up to 150 stops. See http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/#/Route_service/02r300000036000000/ and http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=1feb41652c5c4bd2ba5c60df2b4ea2c4 for more info.

We use the NA Routing Service ArcGIS online. I just discoverd the 'Find Route' key this morning so it is very new to me. This maybe beyond my scope of understanding. I am not proficient in ArcGIS or computers for that matter. Is the World Route something we must subscribe to or purchase? Thanks so much for your help.

Yes. "This service is available for users with an ArcGIS Online organizational subscription" - http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=1feb41652c5c4bd2ba5c60df2b4ea2c4

You're company/organization might already have an ArcGIS Online organizational subscription. See for example http://www.esri.com/esri-news/arcnews/winter1314articles/arcgis-for-desktop-now-includes-arcgis-online-subscription
