Route planning apps?

For occasional extremely large routes that are too big for Mapquest's 26 stops, I use RouteXL, where you can buy just one day if you don't need a monthly subscription.
Yeah I just used Mapquest for a 10 shop route last weekend and it worked great.
Many of us still use the 2013 version of Streets and Trips. It does not get updated for new streets or eateries or gas stations, of course, but remains the best for planning long routes and optimizing stops. While enroute use your GPS to find new places to eat, etc.

Yes, this is exactly the way I still plan my routes. Plan with Strets and Trips, upload it as a web page to my dropbox so I can view it on my phone, and use Google Maps while driving. Terminating MS Streets and Trips may have been the blunder MS ever did, with the possible exception of rolling out bad operating systems such as Windows Me, Win Vista, and possibly Win 11.@walesmaven wrote:

I upload a spreadsheet of my shops with addresses to Google route planner, then eyeball my route and copy/paste the stops into Google Maps and send to my phone. It's not as cumbersome as it sounds. I track my shops in a ss anyway, and uploading pops everything into the route planner. Takes me maybe 15-20 minutes max on a route of 20 or so stops. I do the set up in the morning while I'm drinking my coffee.
I use Everlance it is 19.99 a month but you can load an unlimited number of addresses. I loaded 109 shop route. It then uses google maps. I love it. You do the same route every quarter you can reuse the route over and over.
