 ## Service `trip`
 
 The trip plugin solves the Traveling Salesman Problem using a greedy heuristic (farthest-insertion algorithm).
-The returned path does not have to be the shortest path, as TSP is NP-hard it is only an approximation.
+The returned path does not have to be the fastest path, as TSP is NP-hard it is only an approximation.
 Note that if the input coordinates can not be joined by a single trip (e.g. the coordinates are on several disconnected islands)
 multiple trips for each connected component are returned.
