1. A computer implemented method for generating routes, the method comprising:
- receiving a beginning location;
receiving a set of preferences for generating a set of routes, wherein the set of preferences is selected from the group consisting of, a distance, a travel time, a location to be included along the route, a number of turns, a change in elevation, a type of surface, a type of transportation, and combinations thereof; and
responsive to receiving the set of preferences, generating the set of routes based upon the set of preferences, wherein each route in the set of routes starts and ends at the beginning location, and wherein at least a portion of a specified route in the set of routes does not overlap any other portion of the specified route in the set of routes.
