Dear GRASS experts!
I encountered an interesting problem and am curious about solutions.
A helicopter company has got a file from a client regarding a forest inventory. The file contains 1430 polygons representing areas to be visited. Now we want to calculate the optimal route to visit all polygons. In contrast to a traveling salesman , we don't have a network of routes as the helicopter can fly everywhere. Would it be a solution to have the distance betweeen areas as the "cost"? I used a tool in MapInfo that connects successive closest points which worked very nice but not optimal.
Anyone knows of other solutions?

Regards,
Martina
