Planning Multi-Stop Routes with Google Maps

Let me explain something rOUTe, OUT. root is a tree branches underground that they use to feed its upper branches above the earth surface.

root planing? Nice!
where are the stop times? Do You refuel of make the stretch from the motorcycle at the speed of light?

The problem I have with google maps is that once I optimize my route manually (for example making sure I arrive at a destination on the right hand side) and I send it to my phone it just undoes the personalized route I selected and auto routes the map the way it wants. Which is annoying since I use it to make deliveries.

Delete the video and some pictures on the Facebook page and messenger .

Thank you soo much..

Can't find a way to get started though if doing it from a phone firstly...😅

Can you save this Route and use it again next week?

Can I ride past a Stop, without stopping, and have the map conitnue without having (to take off my globves) and touch the screen?

I should have said, my google maps never displays my iPhone as an option to send directions to. When I click on the phone icon to send directions to, it only displays an email. And by the way, if I use that, I never receive an email. Do you know why my phone is not displayed? I'm signed in on all devices to my google account and they are all on the most recent version.

My iPhone 11 never shows as an option to send directions to. Do you know why? I'm signed in properly to all google accounts.

Google lacks the option to set vehicle size,weight, height restrictions etc so is there a way to export a “trucker” route from another Navigation app over to Google Maps so I can follow it thru CarPlay ? ( the free Trucker GPS apps don’t have CarPlay well).

... any idea how to use maps on trails, no roads/

MapQuest does a pretty good job of Optimizing a multi-step route using automation. Hmmm. Cars, autos, ‘auto’mation….. maybe there’s something there!?!? 😂 😉 🤔

please thank you for your wonderful presentation
please help me know how make my speaker to louder when having zoom meeting projected in class

Aloha, Can I do Drop Pins while hiking a trail, using my iPhone? I want to create a GeoCahe/Scavenger hunt type trail guide using Google Maps but specific areas along a trail so Drop Pins would be necessary and not sitting inside on my desktop trying to guesstimate. Create a map out in the wild. Thanks!

Hey I can only send 6 route stop and not entire map to my iPhone and I cannot even save it on I phone google map f

Wow what a nice simple straightforward video. Straight to the point.
On top of the I really like your English , so pure, Cristal clear. You English made me to trust myself that I’m a good listener, I don’t have difficulties in understanding English.
Thank you very much .

OK, am I missing something? So how do you start the trip on your phone? My phone has NO option to "start" the trip. All I see is "preview and steps" Where is the start button? Whats the point of organizing all these stops if the phone wont take you to any of them? Thank you

Let's say I'm travelling 4 hrs journey, and half way I wanna gey some rest of fuel get refreshments how do I set it

I have 9 stops and it will not let me add more. Is there a way to add more stops?

Thank you!!!

How do we discover places of interest in an unknown area?

Hope google will offer GPX files to transfer to other mobile devices.

How to initiate stored multi-stops navigation ?

HI Dottotech, I just ran across your channel for the first time because I was trying to figure out how to build a map route and send it to my smartphone. Your video did the trick EXCEPT I'm running into a problem. The route I planned on my pc is being changed when it shows up on my phone. For example, on my PC I'm "dragging" the blue line route that google first suggests because I'm on a motorcycle and want to avoid the freeways. So I selected some country roads that wind around a bit and it's a nice ride anyway. However, when I send the route to my phone, my little detours are no longer showing up on the phone. The map that shows up on my phone is the the straight/direct point A to B ( with freeways) I was trying to avoid. If I click "no freeways" in the options menu it still doesn't put me on the country roads I was trying to pick myself back over on the PC. So, something's being lost in translation from the PC to my smartphone. Any ideas??

Badger maps is another option that seems to work good for numerous stops to plan

There does not seem to be a way to SAVE your route. Wouldn't that be an obvious feature?! If I plot out the map, but I'm not driving until tomorrow, how do I save the route and retrieve it tomorrow? Or do I have to recreate it every time?

This is great for local truck delivery I use it at my job but I like google to optimize this for my from longer to short stop or faster way such and such

Anyone figure out how to plan future routes through roads that are currently closed ? Would be nice to be able to plan a summer route during the winter.

Is it possible to draw route for DMV driving test, disabling auto correct function that automatically looking for shortest route? Obviously, the start and end point is the same in this case. I am not sure if that is possible to draw such map on the app.

This is for people who react to Google maps with "huh???"

I am on a motorcycle. How can I ride to (past) a waypoint and have Google Maps move on to the next way point, without stopping, taking off my gloves, and touching the screen?

Mine doesn’t say add destination

Steve, In addition to my just previous comment on cross country route planning I have another problem which you might help with. When, on my laptop Google Maps, I do a route from point to point and I can change the route by clicking and dragging the blue line to somewhere else in case I have a preferred route. But when I send the altered route to my phone it doesn't use the altered route. Is there away to fix this? Thanks.

When we plan cross country trips I like to use Google Sheets to list our points of interest, hotels, etc. I find the point of interest etc on Maps and copy the URL to my clipboard and go to the sheet where the name is and right click and use INSERT LINK. Then, to show the route put in the starting and end point. Then I copy that URL a cell using INSERT LINK with word MAP. Then using the route I add the next destination on the list and delete the previous start point and I have the next leg which is copied and linked into the next cell on the list. I do this for each leg of the trip. THEN when we get on the trip I open the sheet on my mobile device and click on the destination or the MAP/route and drive away. This planning document can then be populated with distance, driving times, notes, links to reservation documents, etc. Instead of clicking on the route cell we can just click on the destination and go from there.

no routers ..gone ..long time ..no tv..

The old MS Map Point optimized routes years ago... it was too good; and is no longer supported.

I have a rather simple question. Im planning a trip, lets say San Francisco - Las Vegas with stops at Yosemite NP and a route via Tioga Pass (120) in the summer next year. Right now i cannot display this route on maps because the Tioga Pass is closed during the winter. Is there a possibility to overcome this? Sure, I can set destination time to Juli 2023, but then I am not able to put in more stops.

Be good for school bus routes…

This is recently not working for me the way it should. It may map out and give directions for multiple stops but it's not showing the path of travel when I have more than one stop. It only shows stop A until I get to stop a and proceed to stop being then it will show that but it used to show the line of path throughout all the stops. Ever hear of this not working?

For route optimization, I use MapQuest, which has a "Re-order stops for the most optimized route" switch, though lacking many of the features that gmaps has.

I do this procedure so often when exploring here in Vietnam, however, the slightest deviation from the route, which is often unavoidable because of a landslide on the route, for example, google maps 'freezes' and offers no further audio or visual directions if I do not have data, which is SO damn frustration when up in the mountain regions. I can see my location using the blue dot but if I have no idea where I am that is pointless. Do you have a solution?

I have personally found that no matter what you put in for route planning Google Maps will route you on a path that it thinks is better. It does not matter if you told it don't go through the construction zone or the area with bars on all the business windows. I have had to learn the route myself and know the tool is going to send me where I never want to go. I truly wish it would not do that. Makes me want to go back to a paper map and I draw the lines for the roads.
Recently I made notes of all the roads on a trip so I knew which direction or road to take (or not take) as Maps was going to decide on its own I needed to go the other way. If someone knows how to solve this I would really appreciate it.

Multiple destinations doesn't have the "depart at" option. Strange. Waze does,,

Very useful video. Can the route be sent to Apple Car Play also?

how and what did you use to write an arrow?

Though the earth is 'round' you CAN'T get a GLOBE view or a choice between 2D and 3D anymore

Is there a way to pick the streets you want to travel and have them sent to your device so you can then use in your vehicle? All I can find is ways to have google create a route and from there you can switch the order of destinations but not actually choose the roads you want to use.
Thanks

What a great video this is! Sir, I wonder if there is a way to add a label to distinguish between the different stops, instead of just point A or B?

A root is part of a plant. Turn on the audio in Google Maps while navigating take an suggested turn and tell me what it says. You don't shout a gun.

Why don't I have the add a destination option on my desktop browser?

much but still havent found any solution to tNice tutorials....guys pls help out! ...it’s like the soft roll is blank
