Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, devices, and tangible non-transitory computer readable media for navigation and route planning are provided. The disclosed technology can include accessing request data including information associated with requests of a user. Based on the user requests, locations associated with satisfying the requests can be determined. Routes associated with the locations that satisfy the user requests can be determined. Completion costs respectively associated with satisfying the requests at the locations can be determined. Based on travel criteria, a travel route can be selected from the routes. The travel criteria can be associated with the completion costs of each of the routes. Output including indications associated with the travel route can be generated.
