[Routing] Routing for autonomous agents

[Tobias Knerr]

Hello Vin,

original projects like yours are something I always find interesting,
especially when they involve 3D models. So I hope we can solve your
routing problem.

I'm not sure whether I understand the issue, but as I'm not familiar
with the output of Travelling Salesman, I may be missing something. Some
clarifications would be helpful.

You say you can get the result as a gpx file, but it doesn't include
curves. Does this mean that the gpx only contains track points at
junctions and nothing in between? Is that also the problem with the
nodes - that you don't get *all* nodes along the route, but just a few
of them?
