Hi Richy,

We used "Speedy Route" recently and it was great taking into account the Travelling Salesman theory etc. We paid £12 for a week and cancelled after that as we had what we needed.

I'm sure there are others out there but from experience this worked well.

Oh this is actually really good to know I always thought it would be good to find such an app where you place jobs in and do a search to find which are actually the nearest to each other

I find Google maps with local knowledge thrown in works best....

I route a thousand at a time in less than 5 minutes using Route4me

Optimap on line is what I used when I was a Yodel courier...

you put in all the postcodes or addresses or both, and then it sorts it into the shortest route... you can even upload it to Garmin or satnav...

hi lee, how much is this software and is it easy to use?

[Lee Pryor]

Its american so I pay about 40$ a month, but it gets a lot of use. I havnt found another that can cope with so many at a time.

Its pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it

That could be handy as if you have an idea of how long each job takes you can add that to your shown travel time to give you a view of the total  hours.

Thats what we do.

Tried that optimap. Gave it 250 jobs, folded half way through haha. Route4me does over 1000 for us in no time.

How do you get the 40$ option?

[richyp]

I can't find a 40 dollar option either and fiddledo around with trial and haven't a clue how to use it but it's something I need because I am peed off with doing the routes in my head.

You just need to copy and paste the csv files. Call them for the low monthly offer.

Update.
Straight from the horses mouth.....

"Thank you for contacting Route4Me Support. We're happy to help. Unfortunately, we no longer offer the Professional Plan at $49 a month, it has been retired and is no longer offered. The plan was retired in May of 2016. We do have our updated Professional Plan at $99 a month. If you are interested, we can get you set up. When would you like to start?"

No idea, when I was a Yodel courier, I used to put up to 60 a day in. I don't expect that many on here have a window round of more than that, and as you do regular rounds, you can spend some time putting each day rounds in, and then save them, so that next time it takes just seconds to get each round up....
