Can Waze do route optimization?

Waze is a really popular navigation app for finding the best route from Point A to Point B, but you can’t use it to plan multi-stop routes, or to optimize a sequence of stops to get the shortest route. If you love Waze but need route optimization, the best option is to use routing software like Routific, which will send auto-optimized routes to a driver app you can download on your mobile device. Then you can choose Waze or Google Maps for point-to-point navigation.

Can I plan a multi-stop route with Waze?

No. The maximum number of stops on a Waze route is just three. If you’re a Waze fan and you need to plan multi-stop routes, your best option is to use one of the route planners in this article and save the route. Then you can use Waze to navigate from point to point.

How do I plan a route with multiple stops for free?

Google Maps is a great choice if you need to create a route with multiple stops for free. You can plan up to 10 stops at a time. For longer routes, use Google’s My Maps tool, or an alternative like MapQuest, MyRouteOnline, or RouteXL. The RAC Route Planner is a good choice for those based in the UK.
