1. A method implemented by a computing device comprising:

  • receiving a route search input comprising a start point, an end point, and an intermediate stop before a route is generated, the intermediate stop corresponding to search criteria indicating at least a type of location of the intermediate stop;

    responsive to the route search input, generating multiple route options for routes between the start point and the end point, the multiple route options including a first route from the start point to the end point via the intermediate stop, the multiple route options further including a plurality of routes with intermediate stops that satisfy the search criteria indicating the type of location and without constraining the generating to a pre-established route between the start point and the end point; and

    selecting an optimal route from the multiple route options based on defined optimization criteria.
