RouteSavvy User Guide – 3.1 – Route Planner Tab
The Route Planner tab is the second tab from the left; it contains all the routing-specific options and functions.
Routes drop down – Allows you to change the active route, add new routes, edit routes, delete routes, and copy routes.
New Route – Create a new route.
Edit Route – Change the route name and color of the route line.
Delete Route – Completely delete the route. This is a permanent action.
Copy Route – Duplicate the route. This is useful if you have many similar routes, you can duplicate a route to use as a starting point and then make changes.
Optimize button – Optimizes the route using either the shortest distance or the shortest time, depending on the route options selected.
Optimize All Routes button – Access this option from the drop-down arrow on the “Optimize” button. This will balance all of the stops on the Route Planner tab across all of the routes that you have created. The basic RouteSavvy subscription includes 5 multi-route optimizations per day. You may want to save your project before you try this option, as it cannot be undone.
Get Directions button – Simply updates the route directions and times, but does not re-optimize. This is useful if you have been manually changing the stop order.
Route Options button – Allows you to review and edit route options for the active route, such as start time, shortest time vs. shortest distance, and avoid highways and avoid tolls options.
Up/down arrows – Allows you to move the selected (highlighted) stop up or down in the list of stops.

This does not delete the original location from the map or the Map tab.

Add this Stop as the Start – Copies the stop to the #1 position in the Route, making it the start.
Add this Stop as the End – Copies the stop to the last position in the Route, making it the end.
Change Stop Order – Allows you to change the order of the stop by number, so in this example you can change Stop #2 to be any other stop number in the Route.
