Use the Mapquest route planner to plan your next route, this tool will help you optimize your route, it will help you spend less time driving, and it will even help you save some money too. There are a few ways to use this accurate route planning software, you can go directly to mapquest.com click on the get directions link to enter your locations and get directions, or you can visit www.mapquest.com/routeplanner a webpage built by the Mapquest team that allows users to access the route planner in a faster, easier, and more efficient manner.

The Mapquest route planner has helped millions of people save millions of miles, in fact if you visit the webpage where the route planner is located you will be able to find out how many miles the route planner has already saved for its users. Using this route planning software you will never get lost, you will never find yourself driving in circles, and you will be able to find the fastest and easiest way to get to all your destinations. The route planner allows you to add up to 26 stops, it will also show you highway exits, and places to rest while your are driving, these type of features make the Map Quest route builder the perfect tool for long road trips.

When you use the Mapquest route planner you have three options to get driving directions the first one is line by line which is the classic way of doing it you simply enter your locations in A and B, you can add more stops by simply clicking on add another stop. The second way to build routes is by clicking on the copy & paste area tab all you have to do is enter one address per line, choose your options, and then click on get directions. The third way to do it is by using the import spreadsheet option, this time just click on “browse” to import addresses using a xls or csv file. In any of the three options you are only allowed to add 26 addresses because that’s the maximum permitted number of stops per route.

Before clicking on get directions no matter which option you have chosen to create a route you can always make your trip a round trip, you can optimize your route by choosing the shortest time, shortest distance, or you can allow Mapquest to re-order the stops on your route to create the most efficient route possible. You can also avoid highways, seasonal roads, country borders, timed restrictions, tolls, and ferries.  I hope you get to save a lot of time and a lot of money the same way I have using this great trip planning tool, don’t forget to bookmark the page where the route planner is located and if you want you can also bookmark this site to constantly access more great info.
