How to Optimize Multiple Stops Into a Round Trip on Google Maps

When you have a handful of stops to make, you don’t want to waste time and gas going from place to place randomly. A tool called “Routora” makes finding efficient routes super easy, and it works with Google Maps.

Organizing stops into a route that makes sense can be cumbersome in Google Maps. First, you have to find all the places on the map, then map out the best order in which to make the stops. Routora  allows you to simply enter all your stops in Google Maps, then click a button to have it sorted and optimized cleanly. From there, you can send the directions to your phone and go on your way.
