Free multi-stop route planner — add up to 25 stops, we'll sort them into the best order, then open the route in Google Maps. No sign-up.

  • No stops yet

    Add a few places above to get started.

Less backtracking. More trip.

Google Maps drives your stops in the order you enter them. SortStops finds the fastest order for you — that's the whole point of a multi-stop route planner.

Step 01

Add your stops

Type or paste the addresses you want to visit — suggestions fill in the rest as you type.

Step 02

Get the fastest order

We optimize the route so you hit every stop with the least driving and no doubling back.

Step 03

Open in Google Maps

Send the sorted route straight to Google Maps and start driving.

One trip, many stops — in the best order.

Road trip, errand run, or any long list of addresses — paste your stops and get the best order to visit them all.

Groceries, pickups, returns, appointments — sort a day of errands into one quick loop around town so you're home sooner.

Plan an errand loop

More than 10 stops

Google Maps won't let you add more than 10 stops, and it never reorders them. SortStops sorts up to 25 stops, then opens the finished route in Google Maps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SortStops free?
Yes. SortStops is a completely free route planner — no subscription, no trial, and nothing to install.
Do I need an account?
No. There's no login and no sign-up. You enter your stops, sort them, and go.
How does the route optimization work?
We send your stops to Google's routing engine — the same one behind Google Maps — which finds the order with the least driving and returns real distances and times. Your first stop stays the start (round trips loop back to it; one-way trips end at your last stop). Then you open it in Google Maps for turn-by-turn directions.
How many stops can I add?
Up to 25 places per route. For longer trips, split them into a couple of shorter routes.
Can I paste my whole trip list at once?
Yes. Click "Paste a list of places" under the search box and paste your list, one place per line — straight from your notes app or a trip plan. Every place is added in one go, ready to sort.
Can Google Maps optimize the order of multiple stops?
Not by itself. Google Maps keeps stops in the order you add them and won't reorder them for speed. SortStops finds the fastest order first, then hands the finished route to Google Maps for navigation.
Can I plan a route with more than 10 stops in Google Maps?
Not directly — Google Maps caps a route you build by hand at about 10 stops, and never reorders them. SortStops lets you plan and sort up to 25 stops, then opens the finished route in Google Maps. Read the full guide
Does it find the shortest or the fastest route?
SortStops optimizes for the least total driving time using real road distances, which is usually also close to the shortest route between your addresses.
Who is SortStops for?
Anyone visiting several places in one trip: delivery and courier drivers planning drop-offs, real estate agents touring listings, sales reps on the road, errand runs around town, and road trips with lots of stops.
