Route Description

Archived Route

This route is currently archived. This means that it has not been updated to work with the latest optimizer. This could be for a couple of reasons. Either it's deprecated or silly, or I simply haven't gotten around to it. Either way, the result is that the only tab that works here is the Detail tab. If you're using this route, I presume you know what you're doing.
