Every 30km?  Choose a popular location close to it ..

You know what a transition matrix is??  Product of transition matrix?? 

The Nth product will give you all paths of lenth N ;-)  (close subject: 
markov chains)

In modern times 100.000 destinations isn't that much ;-)
100.000 x 100.000 matrix.

I made fractals that were about 23500x23500 pixels and I didn't find a 
print shop where they could print decently ;-)
only 2gb r...@home
This black white image can be seen as a trans matrix with 23500 
locations. (allocated must have been 32 bits for 1 pixel black or white)
