Routing app or software

December 20, 2014 09:12PM
I'm looking to start doing routes. I have done several, one multi-state. There has to be an easier way than putting all the shop addresses in Mapquest and bumping up and down to build a route. Does anyone have a software or app suggestion? Or any suggestion for successful routing? Thanks!

Most people who route shop use Microsoft Streets & Trips.

I use Street and Trips...enter the shops in any order and then let the software optimize the stops for me.

Didn't someone just start a thread that Streets and Trips is being discontinued?

Yeah but that's not *that* relevant. It's not like the program will stop working. Eventually it will become out of date, but by that time there will be another solution.

I used to use Streets and Trips, but when I got a new GPS over a year ago, I found a Garmin Nuvi that has route planning along with lifetime map updates and traffic. It will route up to 100 locations per run. It's not as easy as entering the addresses on a PC and optimizing, but it has saved me countless hours on the road because the traffic app helps to reroute when issues come up.
