It has been brought to our attention that optimized mapping routes would be most helpful in planning your days out in the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoogleMaps doesn’t have that option – yet, so we’ve got a temporary fix. Follow the directions below to get an efficient, even round trip, route in just a few extra minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. On our site, click ‘+’ to add addresses to your list (up to 26 for Mapquest).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Select all addresses (under ADDRESSES TO MAP in the Advanced Search box to the right of your screen) and right click. Select COPY from the menu.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Go to mapquest.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Click on the hamburger (three horizontal lines) to the left of the address input field<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

5. Select “Route Planner”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

6. Click on the middle tab, “Copy\/Paste”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Right click to paste the addresses, then click “Get Directions”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

8. At the bottom of the resulting list (below “Add another stop”), click “Allow us to re-order stops on your route” (Yes, please!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—-Optional: You may want to click: “This route is a round trip”—<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


11. Near the top right corner, click “Share”<\/p>\n\n\n\n


12. A box will open with sharing options. Select “Send to Mobile Number” and enter phone number (for text) or enter email, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Open the email or text message, then follow the link to open the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Prefer voice navigation? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If so, after the route is opened in browser, there should be a black bar near the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the black bar, click on “Use MapQuest’s app for voice navigation”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select “Yes, Launch App”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will provide real-time, voice navigation for the route previously created. (This requires installation of the MapQuest App).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, as always, send questions our way!
