I am trying to find a good, easy to use, FREE, website for route planning. I am hoping to find one with current information where I can just click on a road on the map to set a waypoint. I would like to then be able to combine waypoints into a route, with the ability to add/ edit waypoints. Being able to exercise options for shortest/ fastest/ minimal highway would be huge also. BTW I don't own a gps, so an option to be able to print maps with routes would be ideal as well. TIA for any suggestions.
I've been messing with google maps for a week or two (in this application). Route planning, and connecting waypoints does not seem to be it's forte'. Or maybe I'm just missing something . I guess the part I'm struggling with is not being able to just click specific points on a map to add as "via" points. It seems it wants me to enter the total exact address for each point. I've built a couple of maps and saved them to my google profile, but I cant seem to include certain points/ roads I've put pushpins on into a route easily.
I've used google, mapquest and others, but I prefer AAA triptik. You can configure shortest route or time and put in different legs of the trip.
Right click anywhere you want on the map. "Add a destination." One thing it doesn't do is optimize your route... You can't have it (that I know) put your stops in the most efficient order, though in most cases it's pretty easy to do this visually. Jamie
Wow! At first I thought this post might be sarcasm at its finest . But it looks to be almost ideally what I was hoping to find. Thanks for sharing .
