Dependencies

Features

• Calculates duration, transit time, and encoded path from origin to destination

• Avoids routing through Switzerland by trying alternative routes or dynamically selecting alternative cities - If the initial route or alternative routes intersects with Switzerland, the system optimizes the route by selecting intermediate cities to avoid crossing Swiss borders - The cities are prioritized based on their proximity to the intersection points with Switzerland - The system iteratively tries different cities until a route that doesn’t pass through Switzerland is found - If no valid route is found after exhausting all city options, the system falls back to the original route

• Right now its only possible to use address in format {"lat": 48.5734, "lng": 7.7521}

To-Do List

• Add opting out of avoiding Swiss.

• Improve Swiss route avoidance algorithms.
