How 2GIS selects the routes by car

For car routes 2GIS selects a maximum of two travel options: in the online version it will be the fastest and the shortest route and in the mobile apps — two fastest ones.

Selecting the travel options, 2GIS takes into account:

  • the traffic jams, if this feature is implemented in 2GIS for this city, and if the device is connected to the Internet;
  • the presence of traffic lights;
  • the road capacity (freeway, wide or narrow street, unpaved road);
  • the statistics on the average flow speed at each road section at a particular time.

If you know how to build a better route than 2GIS did it, let us know using the “Inaccuracy in the route” button in the mobile app for iOS or Android — it is situated at the bottom of the card of the created route.
