How it works

Five steps, about two minutes for a forty-stop round. Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.

1. Set the depot

Where the vans start. Type an address and press Find, or click Place on map and drop it exactly where the yard gate is. Coordinates work too — paste 48.8443, 2.3743 and it is taken literally, no lookup.

2. Add your stops

Three ways in, whichever suits what you already have:

Paste a list. One address per line. Numbering and bullets pasted from a document are stripped automatically.
Upload a CSV. Either label,address or label,lat,lng. A header row is detected and skipped, and a file that mixes both kinds of row is fine.
Click the map. For the stop with no useful address — the loading bay round the back, the site entrance off the lane.

Up to 99 stops in one plan. Duplicates are kept, because two deliveries to the same building is normal and quietly merging them would lose a job.

3. Check every pin

This is the step worth your attention, and the reason the tool makes you look. A geocoder never refuses: ask it for a street it has no data for and it hands back the town centre, or the middle of the country, with no error attached. The route that follows looks perfectly plausible and sends a driver to the wrong place.

So every match is graded, and anything doubtful is flagged:

Nothing shown — one clear match at a real address.
Check — several places matched, or only an area did. Click the stop to see the alternatives and pick the right one.
No match — nothing was found. Fix the spelling, add a postcode, or place it on the map by hand. The plan will not run until every stop has a pin.

Every stop shows its coordinates to five decimal places, about a metre, so a pin that has drifted is visible without leaving the list.

4. Plan

Three choices, then press the button:

Vehicles — how many are going out.
Even workload gives everyone a similar day. Shortest total buys fewer kilometres overall and will happily leave one van idle. Both are real: on a forty-stop test the difference was 15 km of total distance against a much more lopsided split.
Return to the depot — off if drivers finish at their last stop.

5. Send it out

Google Maps link per driver, straight to their phone. If a route is too long for one link the app says exactly how many stops were left off, rather than quietly truncating it.
Printed manifest — every van, stops in order, with arrival times.
Share link — a read-only copy of the whole plan. No account needed to open it.

Nothing is saved. There is no database. Close the tab without making a share link and the plan is gone — which is also why nobody, including us, has a copy of your customer addresses.

When something goes wrong

What you see	What it means
Distances marked approximate	The road-distance service was unreachable, so these are straight-line estimates. The plan still works; the numbers are optimistic.
An address will not match	Add a city or postcode. Failing that, place it on the map — a hand-placed pin is always trusted.
Too many requests	Rate limiting, to keep the service usable for everyone. Wait the number of seconds it names.
