Route4Me Maps the Optimal Route for Multi-Stop Trips
To save time and gas money while running errands or long trips, it makes sense to map out the best route so you can hit all the places you need to go without doubling back. Have Route4Me do the planning for you.
Before heading out the door, jump on the internet and enter the addresses of all the places you need to stop or fire up the iPhone app (more on that below). Route4Me plots your whole route for maximum efficiency. It will also map out a round trip so you can get back to where you started, without trying to backtrack using the initial directions. For a more global approach to navigation—if you’re traveling between cities, for instance—furnish airport codes, landmarks, cities, or even zip codes, to find optimal routes.
The free web-based service is pretty slick, but its iPhone app really shines. It uses Google Maps to plot out your stops for you and is a great way to access Route4Me when you don’t have an internet connection (like in the car).
Route4Me figures out where you are using your iPhone’s geo-location feature. If you want to skip that step and enter your own starting location, you can do that, too. Then simply add the addresses of everywhere you want to go and the app does the rest. You’ll get estimated trip time and mileage to help you plan ahead, and turn-by-turn navigation so you won’t get lost along the way.
