Reverse Routes From Routes List, Route Editor, Or Routes Map

Learn how to quickly reverse routes using three different methods: from the Routes List, Route Editor, and Routes Map. This functionality is particularly useful when managing logistics for deliveries, service calls, or round-trip routes where reversing the sequence of stops can save time and improve scheduling flexibility. Whether you need to reverse the entire route or just the destinations, these methods allow for quick adjustments while maintaining accuracy. This guide covers each method, highlighting key features and how changes are reflected in Route4Me’s route planning software.

Quickly reverse routes using three methods to improve scheduling flexibility and route management efficiency.

 

 

Reverse Routes From The Routes List

To reverse routes from your Routes List, go to “Operations” in the Navigation Menu and click “Routes“. Check the box next to the route or routes you wish to reverse. Then, click “Bulk Actions” and select “Reverse Routes“.

You can reverse the entire route or just its destinations. Reversing the entire route will swap all destinations, including the start and end points, except for Round Trip routes where the start and end points are the same location. Reversing only the destinations will flip all stops except the departure address.

Once executed, the newly sequenced route will replace the original sequence and become automatically available.

Open Your Routes List

Reverse the entire route or just the destinations, with round-trip routes keeping the start and end points unchanged.

 

Reverse Routes From The Route Editor

To reverse a route from the Route Editor, click “Route” in the Toolbar and select “Reverse Route“. Then, specify if you want to reverse the entire route or reverse destinations only.

In the editor, select 'Reverse Route' and choose to reverse the entire route or just the destinations.

 

The system will automatically apply the new sequence, with changes reflected in both the Destinations List and the Interactive Map.

The system will automatically update the sequence, with changes reflected in the Destinations List and Interactive Map.

 

Reverse Routes From The Routes Map

To reverse a route from your Routes Map, go to “Operations” in the Navigation Menu and click “Routes Map“. Then, check the box next to the route or routes you wish to reverse and click on “Routes” in the Toolbar.

From there, select “Reverse Selected Routes” and choose “Reverse Entire Route” or “Reverse Destinations Only“.

Open Your Routes Map

To reverse a route from the map, select the route(s) and choose the reverse option from the toolbar.
