Optimizing a tour takes very long

Hi All,

I'd like to optimize a tour with a few loadingpoints.
Optimization should calculate the shortest route by reordering the loadingpoints to the correct position.

Currently I am using "planBasicTours" to do so, but this is very slow ... it takes between 20 and 30 seconds to deliver a result. I doubt this is a normal response time, is it?
Here you can see one of these requests performing bad, do you have a clue what is going wrong or what could be done better? Eventually I missunderstood what "planBasicTours" is doing and there is another possibility to achieve my goal?

Thanks in advance!

Your coordinates are very far apart. This means that the dima that needs be calculated internally will take some time. I would suggest that you look into our high performance routing option:
