A web application to explore the capabilities ofGoogle Maps Platform Route Optimization (GMPRO).

GMPRO solves vehicle routing problems (VRPs).Given a set ofshipments with locations,a set ofvehicles to carry out deliveries,costs and additional constraints;GMPRO works to find an optimal solution with efficient routeswhere every shipment is delivered by a vehicle,with all constraints met and minimal cost.

This application presents the propertiesof the GMPRO data model as interactive forms, tables, and maps.Users may find it a helpful way to familiarize themselveswith the data model and functions of the API.Before writing any code, use the application to construct GMPRO scenarios,tune constraint parameters, visualize routes, and more.

The application is intended to be used as an exploratory tooland should not be deployed in any production critical path.Google provides this application for users to try out the API and understandhow to model their use cases in GMPRO.But customers should implement their own solutionsto integrate Route Optimization into their business processes.

The resources and API usage generated by the application are billed to the project owner.Fleet Routing App is not free to use.Customers can expect ongoing charges related to cloud resources(compute, networking, storage, etc.),along with usage-based charges for the Maps Platform APIs and Route Optimization.When running locally for development,the application will still incur usage-based charges for Maps and GMPRO.

In order to deploy the application to a project,the project must be linked to a validGoogle Cloud Billing Account.The customer is responsible for all charges accrued on the account.

⚠️ The application and Route Optimization perform several kinds of batch operations.This means it can be easy to generate a high volume of usage in a short period of time,especially for large scenarios with many shipments.Familiarize yourself with the pricing models for Maps Platform and Route Optimizationbefore using the application and routinely monitor the charges on your billing account.

Keep scenarios small to begin with and get comfortable with the billing modelbefore attempting to solve large scenarios which may be expensive.

Refer to the following pricing guides for Cloud, Maps, and GMPRO for detailed costs:

• Google Cloud Pricing
• Google Maps Platform Pricing

⚠️ Google Cloud and Google Maps Platform offer "getting started" and "free tier" credits that may covera small amount of usage for free. However, as mentioned in the previous section,large scenarios can generate a lot of spend in a short period of time.If you are not careful, it is possible to use up all of your creditswith just a few large scenarios.
