Portuguese term or phrase: ROTEIRIZADOR
An online service/tool made available by an auto company, through which drivers (especially truck drivers) can get a great deal of detailed info on the highway they are going to ride on (it locates police stations / toll plazas / gas stations, etc along the selected route), just by typing the departure point and destination.

Anyone?

Thank you in advance!

Explanation:
I can't be 100 hundred percent sure that it's the exact translation. I've seen 'Roteirizador' simply translated as 'Routing', but it's more complicated than that, as we can see.

There's also the word RASTREADOR (Route Tracker) which could be the inverse of ROTEIRIZADOR, but similar in its application and use.

Maybe even - Electronic Route Planner

Hope that's useful.

agree  Clara Duarte: Routing has to do with routers, I don't think it would apply here. I had thought of Route Finder but Planner is way better.
