Tools for mileage/mapping/routes

I'm regretting not doing mileage daily and dreading catching up. I have a backlog of mileage to work on. I'm also interested in a more effecient way to map my days that in a perfect world would also help me track mileage. Any suggestions for an app or tool to help with these tasks?

As an aside, any other apps you like for your MS jobs? I'm fond of the time keeper app to help me with restaurants. It really helps me get it all ready to go and have much less I have to do when I get home.

Thanks!

MapQuest or Google maps allows you to "backtrack" and find the driving miles for up to 10 stops. MapQuest also optimizes routes for up to 10 addresses.

Wow, I didn't know that mapquest was even still a thing. Thank you!
Mapquest will optimize for up to 26 stops, but it seems that they are trying to transition to getting people onto a paid service.

Oh boo. I'll have to try to signup before it's all paid. Thanks!
Road Warrior is free for routes up to 8 stops. You can even add how long each stop should take.

I use the paid ($9.99/mo) version and love it. Allows me up to 125 stops. Haven't been able to find one that I like when my routes have more than 125, but with Marathon gone for the moment I have no need for more.
I use "Stride" to automatically track mileage.

A Dad shopping the Ark-LA-Tex and beyond.
I subscribe to Everlance. It's pretty good, though it doesn't always pick up trips. I've gotten in the habit of manually starting each mystery shopping or rideshare route.

125? *faints*
I don't generally do massive routes (maybe 10 would be the max). I set the trip meter in my car when I head out and either write down my starting mileage or take a pic of it. Even using the mapping tools, sometimes there's a detour or something and my mileage always seems to be off from the maps (both google and mapquest). I learned my lesson the hard way last year with not keeping up with mileage, so I've been more diligent about it this year.

I've done a route of more than 200 several times... usually would take me about 5 days.

Okay, I only plan out one day at time!

But 40 shops a day seems kind of impossible. Are these regualr shops or something else?

Ooh, taking a picture. Love that. Can't be much easier.
