1. A system for generating a route from a starting location to a destination, the system comprising:
a processor;
a display in operable communication with the processor; and
a machine-readable medium in operable communication with the processor and having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, perform the following steps:
receiving first data comprising the starting location, the destination, and a relative preference of a user of the system for scenic quality of the route compared to at least one other objective, the at least one other objective comprising time of the route, cost of the route, and distance of the route;
quantifying the scenic quality of the route using just values of properties along the segments of potential paths;
aggregating the just values of the properties along the segments of potential paths, on a per-segment basis, to generate a set of aggregated just values data;
normalizing the just values in the set of aggregated just values data into a fixed range to generate a normalized set of just values data,
utilizing map data to generate segments of potential paths between the starting location and the destination;
running an algorithm on the segments of potential paths, using the relative preference, to generate the route from the starting location to the destination;
providing the route in audio form to the user of the system; and
displaying, on the display, the route in both graphic and textual form to the user of the system,
the relative preference comprising a weighted selection triangle of the scenic quality of the route and two other objectives, the two other objectives comprising two of the time of the route, the cost of the route, and the distance of the route,
the normalized set of just values data being used to represent the scenic quality in the relative preference,
the just values being objective market values published by a county appraiser that governs a county having the properties located therein, and
the just value of each property being a combined value of land and building on said property, the combined value being a price for which said property is appraised by the county appraiser as being able to be sold for in a competitive market as of January 1 of the year for which the just value was appraised by the county appraiser.
