Circuit Route Planner is so easy to use you can understand the basics in minutes.
Follow the three steps below to quickly learn how to add stops, create a route, and navigate.
Step 1.
How to create a route and add stops
Click > Create route
Select a date and name your route
Add all the stops you wish to make on that route
You can add stops in any order. Circuit Route Planner will automatically place stops in the best order when it optimizes your route.
If you don't want Circuit to optimize your route and rearrange stops then when you create your route tap ⠇and then > Skip optimization. Your route will be created with stops in the order that you added them. Skipping optimization may not produce the most efficient route.
Add stops to your route by searching, speaking, or scanning
Long press on the map where you want to add a stop
Tap the search bar to type in a stop address
Tap the viewfinder icon to scan a stop address with your phone camera
Tap the microphone icon to speak the stop address into your phone
Tap > Copy stops from a past route to add past stops to a new route
Available on the Android app only - Tap > ⠇button to upload stops in a spreadsheet
Using the free version of Circuit Route Planner you are limited to 10 stops per route.
To begin a free trial of Circuit Route Planner Premium with unlimited features simply create a route with more than 10 stops and you will see the option to subscribe.
Optimize your route
When all the stops are added to your route click > Optimize
The fastest most efficient route will now be automatically mapped for you!
Step 2.
How to set a start and end location for your route
Click on the start location on the map or stop list to edit it
Add a route start location address and start time
Add a route end location address and end time
We recommend selecting Roundtrip if you are a courier as this will make your start and end location the same place. If you don't set a start or end location your current location will be used instead.
Adding a start and end time will also help Circuit Route Planner take expected traffic into account when optimizing routes.
Step 3.
How to navigate from stop to stop
To begin your route tap > Start
Your first stop will be highlighted
Click > Navigate to begin route navigation
Google Maps is the default option but you can change this in > Settings
When you arrive at the stop, switch back to Circuit, mark the stop as Delivered/Failed
Repeat this process for each stop until you complete your route
Circuit Route Planner Premium users have access to in-app navigation, which lets them follow their route and mark off deliveries all in the same app!
