Copy and Paste – Plan Routes by Copying & Pasting Addresses

Route4Me’s dynamic routing software provides multiple options for importing route data into the route optimization system – you can even copy and paste route stops and customers’ addresses. When using the Copy-and-Paste data import method, you can effortlessly plan multi stop routes by copying a set of addresses from any third-party app, software, storage device, or service and then pasting them into the Route4Me enterprise route optimizer. Once you pasted addresses in, the system automatically processes, corrects, and geocodes them to provide you with accurate data for planning and optimizing efficient routes.

Next, select Copy-and-Paste from the corresponding window.

After that, specify the preferred route parameters and then click on the corresponding button to proceed.

Then, copy and paste route stops and addresses into the Paste Addresses Below field. You can copy addresses from any third-party app or software as long as they are accurate and it is possible to geocode them. Addresses should be pasted in one address per one line where the first address will be the starting point of the planned route.

After that, click on the Add Addresses to Route button to proceed.

In the Verify Addresses on Map window, you can view all the previously pasted addresses on the map, as well as check their geocoding statuses. Green colored dots indicate that the corresponding addresses were successfully geocoded with High Confidence. Addresses that have yellow colored dots next to them should be reviewed and fixed accordingly.

Geocoding is the process of giving/assigning latitude and longitude values/coordinates to street addresses for accurate location detection and precise GPS tracking.

To edit a particular address, first, click on it and then select Edit respectively.

After that, make the required modifications in the corresponding field and then click OK to apply the changes.

After reviewing the pasted addresses, click Finish Import to plan the multi stop route.

Once the multi stop route is planned, it is optimized by the fastest route optimization software and then opened in the Route Editor where you can modify it, as well as added to the Routes List with all your routes.
