Route finding is one of the most common problems in spatial modelling and geosciences overall. Optimal route planning, distribution networks and navigation are some aspects that are covered in our daily life based on optimal pathfinding algorithms. In this scenario, students will explore how some common spatial routines work, in terms of the multi-objectivity and different distance metrics (Euclidean and 3D distance), some important spatial attributes (i.e., neighborhood, adjacency), as also, some simple spatial modelling schemes to delineate optimal paths. Consequently, this scenario will enforce our knowledge to identify whether our GPS is lying or not (?).
