View Similar Route Templates

Finds route templates similar to this route template, if exists. Two templates are similar if their legs have the same have the same region geography and if they have the same cyclic order (though not necessarily the same start leg). A route template or instance can represent a "loop", for which a single truck drives each leg in turn and then is ready to drive the same loop during the next week (which would be the next instance). If another truck is driving the same loop, but starts at a different point on the loop, its route is similar. Inactive routes and instances are not returned; nor are completed instances.
