The application is designed to build the shortest distances loop car routes on Apple maps by solving the classic traveling salesman problem. The application allows you to: - select the points of the route directly by long pressing on the map; - search for waypoints using the Apple Maps search engine; - delete route points; - calculate the optimal, minimum in terms of the distance of the automobile route, bypassing route points with a return to the starting point; - save, edit, delete built routes in the application database; - select the current location as the starting point or arbitrary point of the route; - transfer separate branches of the route to the iOS Maps application for a more detailed analysis; - remember intermediate data to continue calculations with a large number of route points; - display distances in miles or kilometers, depending on the application settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Zipcode at Free against OptimalRouteMaps's $1.99. Zipcode also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 41 months). OptimalRouteMaps's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
