Multi-Stop Route Planner for Up to 200 Stops
Google Maps caps a route at 10 destinations — your starting point plus 9 stops — and drives them in exactly the order you entered, without optimizing it.
To plan a route with more than 10 stops, use a multi-stop route planner: it takes dozens or hundreds of addresses at once, calculates the fastest visiting order, and hands each stop to Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps for turn-by-turn navigation.
Routerra plans and optimizes up to 200 stops in a single route.
Free for up to 20 stops a day — no credit card.

Your Options Past 10 Stops
There are exactly four ways past the wall. Three are free workarounds with real trade-offs; the fourth is what this page is about.
- 1
Split the trip into 10-stop chunks
Plan your first 10 stops as one Google Maps route, start the next route where that one ends, and repeat until you run out of addresses.
The catch: You juggle several sets of directions and must finish route A before opening route B — and none of the chunks optimize your stop order.
- 2
Plot everything in Google My Maps
My Maps holds hundreds of pins on one custom map, so it is genuinely useful for seeing your whole day at once.
The catch: Turn-by-turn directions still run through regular Google Maps — the same 10-destination cap — so to actually drive it you are back to splitting.
- 3
Chain routes with the URL hack
You can hand-edit a Google Maps directions URL and keep appending addresses past the cap — it really does produce a 15-stop route.
The catch: It is fiddly, not officially supported, and breaks whenever Google changes its URL format. The stops also still drive in the order you typed them.

Use a dedicated multi-stop route planner
Paste all your addresses at once, let it calculate the fastest visiting order, and hand each stop back to Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps for navigation.
This is what Routerra does — free for up to 20 stops a day, and up to 200 stops in one optimized route on Pro.
Paste the List, Get the Order
The whole job is two screens: drop in every address at once, then let the optimizer set the sequence.
From there, Drive Mode hands each stop to Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps for turn-by-turn navigation — you keep the nav app you already trust.

Google Maps is heck to use with the 10 stop maximum. I had 5 Google Map instances open for each day... It was a mess! So thank you for developing this software!
