Mapping Programs / Websites For Planning Routes

November 01, 2017 04:40AM
My Garmin used to allow me to put in multiple addresses and provide me the shortest route / quickest route, to hit all of them. My Garmin was stolen.

All you route shoppers, what program / app / website do you use to plan your routes?

I know Gigspot will do it in their application, but I cancelled Gigspot because I didn't like it. II usually only had one shop at a time on Gigspot.

I just use mapquest. It has a setting to put your locations in the proper order.

I got this from a forum member and is helpful for route planning. Its a little arcaic in its look but does the job. You can set by fastest round trip fastest a to z shortest route and bulk add addresses. You can even set a starting and ending point if you like.

I use Microsoft Streets and Trips. Yes I'm aware it's no longer supported. That doesn't mean it doesn't work.

You know that's no longer supported, right?

I use Driving Route Planner when I know the route ahead of time.

When on the road and I get hit with a couple of extra 'on the way' assignments I use google maps on my Note 8, yes, I just got a Note 8 and am so happy!!!

Here's how to add stops on your phone's google maps:

I like Google maps too. I download my maps and save the link to my phone in case data gets wonky.
