MRA can be used as delivery route planner
-
In my search for a usable route planner for delivering a number of letters, I used MRA for testing.
At first I came across RouteXL, but there the number of stops is limited to 25 (?) and I have more to deliver. Or do I have to pay.
Google Maps could also have worked, but is limited to 9 stops, so too few.
So I tried MRA and it worked!
First I entered the addresses as points (waypoints). The sorting was based on postal code. That seems beneficial, but it is not quite. If you want to use your approach and return route, the order will change.
After I had entered all the stops I looked at it on the map and saw that it could be improved. I dragged the points in the left bar to a better position and that's how I came up with a better route. Useful. In fact: I rode the route by bike and it was well displayed. I also ended up almost at the door of a house. And in flats the place where the mailboxes are. I almost always came at the right spot but had to search sometimes. Only once Google Maps had to assist but if that's all then it's not too bad. -

Great, yes the planner and app are suitable for multiple purposes.
