Request: Add route map as downloadable output #9

An easy way to download image captures of each route on the map would be appreciated. Copies of what is visible on "Last Calculation" tab for each route would be great.

JE: What format would you like the route map to be downloaded as?

SB: no preference. But it might depend on whether you're all thinking of including the route assignment process within the software of if that will remain something separate.

Assuming that it stays separate, it would be great if the files could be downloaded together into a folder and a list of the image locations was also created (possibly in a .txt/.csv file in the same folder?). I have been using a mailmerge to create printouts of the routes and would include the image addresses in the merge so those images are easily included. If you were thinking of including the route assignment process in the software, it wouldn't be necessary to download the images since I could just have the software up and available to reference when assigning on the fly.

Context: The images would be used to help assign routes to drivers who live the area of town where the routes are. I think I mentioned that including the volunteer addresses in the input would help with this as well. Having the images of the route locations would make it easier to reassign routes on the fly if it's not convenient to rerun the program.
