I am a long time advocate. Here is a link to an earlier post where I described my own process.
Route selection is also a part of my commute profile. I use two different routes each day, one to go to work and the other returning. Both routes are selected becasue they have steeper uphill segments and longer downhill segments that permit extended coasting (neutral charge/discharge). The routes also permit me to end with a charging segment and begin with a segment that requires the ICE anyway, so that the energy used for warmup is not wasted.

One thing I found essential when using route planning is a Scan Gauge or other means to determine accelerator pedal position. Having this information in real time permits faster, anticipated, inputs for power demands and releases while maintaing the required energy as close to the planned profile as possible. The precise anticipation aspect is much more efficient than reacting to changes in kinetic energy after they are perceived or "guesstimating" the required power change.
