Add Destinations to a Route – Android Route Planner

The Route4Me Android multi stop route planner app enables you to plan and optimize routes with multiple destinations on the go. Moreover, our route planning app can be used both as a standalone, mobile route planner as well as an extension of the web-based Route4Me route optimization platform. You can use the route planner app to plan routes, insert stops into already planned routes, and a lot more. If you’ve been wondering “How can I add a stop to my route?”, follow these simple steps to dynamically add destinations to routes in seconds.

Once a route is created, you can start adding multiple destinations (route stops) by tapping Add Destination at the bottom of the screen.

To add a stop to a route manually, type the address into the corresponding field. Route4Me allows you to type in the address partially and select one of the suggested variants.

Once the address of the destination is filled in, you can add an alias and a phone number.

To continue adding stops manually, tap Save & Add New. If you want to finish, tap Save & Close.

You can also add an address from the contacts that are saved on your Android device by selecting the corresponding option.

If you want to add your current location as an address, tap on the Get Address of Current Location button.

Importing Addresses into a Route

If you need to add multiple stops at a time, you can upload addresses in bulk from your Android device in the form of CSV or XLS files or import them from cloud-based storage such as Google Drive or Dropbox. To do so, tap on the Import tab in the top right corner of the screen.

On the Import screen, tap Upload CSV or XLS File to import files with addresses saved on your Android device. The spreadsheet you upload should contain a minimum of two columns: an Alias, or a name of the customer, and an Address, consisting of the street name and number, city, state, and zip code.

Select the file from the library on your Android device to import it.

Provided that the uploaded spreadsheet meets the requirements mentioned above, the addresses are geocoded and added to the route, respectively.

You can also download a sample file and use it as a template for uploading multiple addresses.
