Compression method

How compression works

Basic compression

Keeps every Nth point uniformly along the route. Simple and fast, but may lose detail in complex sections.

Original points Kept points (uniform)

Smart compression

Uses the Douglas-Peucker algorithm to keep more points where the route curves, and fewer on straight sections.
