Steve K (ID: 000000982c7c90f2) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/02/2023 Works really well! I would love it if somehow you could add a function to enter a list of addresses all at once and automatically build the route in google maps without having to use googles method of manually adding the stops 1 by 1. That would put it at a 5/5 for me. Thanks for making this!!

Kalle Uusmaa (ID: 000000cf89cfc093) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/18/2023 It's not possible to understand how it works. Chrome extension adds button "Create route", clicking it opens regular Google maps site and that's it, no place to drop/import locations, no any help or instructions. Opening developers site gives even worse info - it is not free at all, as promised.

Ricardo Saucedo (ID: 0000001ab2389d58) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/27/2023 Doesn't optimize routes in My Maps by Google (Saved Maps) with multiple locations. I downloaded it to make sure I can find the best route but it doesn't work.

Bento (ID: 000000cf8ee4eacc) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/17/2023 Rubbish. Took my 4000km 10 stop route to 7500km so it actually made it worse.
