Plan the Shortest Route for Many Stops
Our route optimizer uses advanced algorithms to find the most efficient path through all your stops. Save time, reduce fuel costs, and make every trip more efficient.
Free for up to 30 stops. No signup required.
How to Optimize Your Route
Get your optimized route in 4 simple steps.
Input Your Stops
Add all the addresses you need to visit to the route planner.
Algorithm Analysis
Our optimizer calculates real road distances between every pair of stops.
Path Optimization
Advanced algorithms test millions of possible orderings to find the shortest path.

How Route Optimization Works
The science behind finding the shortest path.
The Traveling Salesman Problem
Finding the optimal route through multiple stops is a classic computer science problem. With just 10 stops, there are over 3.6 million possible orderings. With 20 stops, that number explodes to 2.4 quintillion.
Why Manual Planning Fails
Human intuition often chooses a “nearest neighbor” approach—visiting the closest stop next. This feels efficient but often creates suboptimal routes that backtrack unnecessarily.
Algorithm-Powered Optimization
Our optimizer uses advanced heuristics and optimization techniques to find near-optimal solutions in seconds, not hours. It considers real road distances, not just straight-line measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about route optimization.
How do I optimize a route with multiple stops?
Enter your addresses into EZRoutePlanner. Then type them, paste a list, or import from a spreadsheet. Our algorithm analyzes all possible route orderings and finds the most efficient path in seconds. One click optimizes your entire route.
What makes EZRoutePlanner's optimization better?
We use advanced algorithms that calculate actual road distances, not straight-line ("as the crow flies") measurements. This means more accurate time estimates and truly optimized routes based on real-world driving conditions.
Can I set a specific start or end point?
Yes! Set your starting location, ending location, or both. You can also create round-trip routes that return to your starting point. The optimizer respects your constraints while finding the best path between stops.
'Plan the shortest route for many stops'. How many is 'many'?
Free users can optimize routes with up to 30 stops, which is enough for most daily routes. Premium users get unlimited stops for high-volume logistics, delivery routes, and field service schedules.
Does optimization consider traffic?
Free and premium results are based on average travel times, which work well for most use cases.
