  Route planning features of Maptitude as a Streets and Trips alternative

The top 7 benefits of this Streets & Trips alternative are:

• Turn-by-turn directions
• The latest updated streets and maps
• Routes that can be manually edited by dragging the path to new destinations
• Prioritizing travel over highways, allowing for faster routing over long distances
• Creating a directions report for your route
• Support for nationwide trip planning to an unlimited number of destinations
• Viewing of multiple routes in a single map

A trip can involve many different stops/waypoints. Maptitude helps you decide the best order to visit them. Most importantly, Maptitude lets you choose what type of route you want:

• The shortest route
• The fastest route
• The ordered route (when visits or deliveries must be conducted sequentially)
• The route that returns to the origin
• The route that you interactively modify

The best route can mean different things to different people. Often the best route is the one that is the fastest. Others prefer the path that is shortest in terms of mileage. Or a trip that maximizes use of highways or avoids population centers:

• A salesperson might want to set up an itinerary for less driving time and more time with customers
• A chemical company transporting hazardous chemicals may want to uses roads that avoid areas where many people live or work

Maptitude has the features of Microsoft Streets and Trips 2013 and can meet all the above demands. Maptitude uses an accurate and up-to-date street database. Maptitude handles one-way streets, and supports display of these on the map.

You can easily get started planning your route by simply clicking in a map on all the places you want to visit. You can also locate stops/waypoints by typing an address. Or automatically by using addresses in an Excel spreadsheet, table, or database. Select the customers to visit in a customer point layer, and Maptitude determines the best route to use to visit them.

There are also additional best route tools that allow you to:

• Create rings to show drive time or distance from one or more locations
• Create territories on streets using travel time

Maptitude is also an alternative to Microsoft AutoRoute and the discontinued Microsoft MapPoint.

“We have found Maptitude to be a really useful piece of software. It allows us to quickly and easily represent various data geographically, and the ease of functionality and ability to layer data makes it really user friendly. It has, among other things, helped us develop our sector-leading delivery service and understand areas that require focus from our sales teams.” Richard Horton Transportation Development & Planning Manager, Travis Perkins

“We purchased Maptitude for a yearly mapping project. We are a non-profit charitable organization and our volunteers deliver gift bags to all 930 member families. It was my task to map 85+ delivery routes to all member families in our local area. I was seeking a substitute for Microsoft Streets and Trips. Maptitude is like Streets and Trips on steroids. I think there is probably not much Maptitude can't do. There is a bit of a learning curve because it is so powerful. But I like the ability to customize the map points with a staggering array of colors and shapes. I can save the maps, make PDFs, optimize routing. Everything I need—plus. Thank you Maptitude.” Debbie Lagerborg HEA Denver

As the alternative to the Microsoft Streets and Trips software, Maptitude calculates the fastest routes between waypoints.
