Introduction

TSP Solver is a program designed to solve the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), which involves finding the optimal route for a traveling salesperson. TSP Solver is written in the Python programming language. TSP is a well-known combinatorial problem that seeks to find the shortest possible route for a salesperson to visit a specified number of cities and return to the starting point.

The Traveling Salesman Problem has broad applications in various fields, including transportation, logistics, manufacturing, and route optimization. Its origins can be traced back to the 18th century when it was first formulated by mathematicians and computer scientists. Since then, it has posed a challenge for many researchers and programmers who strive to find efficient algorithms and solutions.

TSP Solver is a tool that can be utilized in various industries and applications where optimizing a traveler's route is necessary. Using this program, it is possible to find efficient solutions for the Traveling Salesman Problem and improve the performance and efficiency of different processes and activities that require energy and time savings in manufacturing, transportation, and more. For example, it can help reduce production costs by determining the most efficient model for drilling holes in printed circuit boards or other objects.


  • The program offers a variety of useful features.  
  • The program can find routes quickly, even for a large number of points.
  • The program will be useful for every traveler, for companies where the production process saves time and costs in the shortest route of the production procedure.

Download TSP Solver

You can download the installation of the TSP Solver program in the ENG version using the link below . Follow the instructions of the installer.
Note: I recommend performing the installation as a user, not as an administrator.
For the operating system: Windows

In the manual, you will find detailed information on how to use TSP Solver, whether for travel in conjunction with Google Maps or for production purposes.

User guide - TSP Solver.pdf
Demo version - without entering a license: :
  • Creating points, calculations up to 10 points
  • Exporting the route as an image
  • Changing graphic settings
  • Testing calculation methods up to 1000 points

Basic license

The basic license provides all the features of the TSP Solver program. The only limitation is for calculations involving created or imported points, ranging from 2 to 100 points. The basic license is suitable for obtaining the shortest route, primarily for travel purposes (transportation), as the limit of 100 points is sufficient for these purposes.  

PRICE: 29,- Eur

  • Utilize the coordinate graph function, route zooming, graph export
  • Save and open ongoing project
  • Generate random points with subsequent calculations

Professional license

The Professional license provides all the features of the TSP Solver program. The Professional license is suitable for companies in the transportation and industrial sectors. The utilization of TSP Solver is primarily in the optimization of production processes, specifically by finding the optimal route for machines.

  • Generate random points with subsequent calculations

Integration of TSP Solver with Google Maps

The procedure for utilizing TSP Solver to find a specific route using Google Maps is thoroughly outlined in the TSP Solver user manual (see the reference to the manual above). In simplicity, first, we import all the points (coordinates obtained from Google Maps), then perform the calculation in TSP Solver and export the route to a text file. Subsequently, in a step-by-step manner, we copy the exported text file's point sequence into the Google Maps route calculated by the TSP Solver program. The image provides an example of an entire route if one were to visit all major cities in Slovakia by car and on foot. The second example is from New York - by foot+ferry.

TSP Solver

TSP is an intuitive program that will certainly provide you with reduced transportation costs or significantly increased returns for the purchase of a license. For a production process, it will return 100% multiple times over. Of course, the optimal route also saves valuable time.
