The Route Planner App for Delivery Drivers
A delivery driver needs a route planner app that imports the full stop list in seconds — from a screenshot, photo, or spreadsheet — optimizes the stop order for real traffic, and hands each stop off to Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps for navigation. Google Maps alone caps a route at 10 stops and won't reorder them for you; Waze allows just one extra stop. Routerra does all of this on iPhone and Android, free for up to 20 stops a day.
Free for up to 20 stops a day — no credit card. iPhone, Android, and web.

The full walkthrough: stops go in, the order gets optimized, and each stop hands off to your navigation app.
How It Works, on the Actual Screens
Three screens from the app, not mockups: paste your stops, tap Optimize, drive the order.
Import your stops
Paste the whole address list straight from a dispatch message — or hand the app a screenshot, photo, or spreadsheet and let AI import pull the stops out.
Tap Optimize
Your stops land in one list with time windows and notes attached. One tap on Optimize reorders them into the fastest drive, traffic included.
Drive the order
Work down the route stop by stop: Navigate opens Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps, and Completed logs the drop and queues up the next one.
What Else a Route Planner App Should Do for You
Beyond import, optimize, and drive — the features that decide whether an app survives a real shift.
Navigate with the app you trust
One tap opens each stop in Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps for turn-by-turn navigation. You keep the navigation you already know.
Change plans mid-route
Add, skip, or reorder stops while you're driving. The route adapts when the day doesn't go to plan.
Finish where you want
Set home or the depot as your end point and the optimized order works toward it, instead of stranding you across town.
Free to start
Optimize up to 20 stops a day free. Pro is $12/month — or $8/month billed annually — when you need 200 stops per route.
