Abstract
Techniques for providing suggested routes for computing devices planning to travel between start and end locations are disclosed herein. In an example, crowd-sourced data is used to generate a network map that includes network parameters mapped to one or more geographical locations. The network map is used to generate suggested routes for a computing device planning to travel between the start location and the end location. The suggested routes may be generated using an optimization function to minimize travel time and optimize network connection parameters.
