Instructions

To add locations, simply left-click the map. The first location you add is considered to be the start of your journey. If you click 'Calculate Fastest Roundtrip', it will also be the end of your trip. If you click 'Calculate Fastest A-Z Trip', the last location (the one with the highest number), will be the final destination. To remove a location, click its marker. If more than nine locations are specified, you are not guaranteed to get the optimal solution. If a location is sufficiently far from a road, the solver will fail (Google driving directions will fail).

To print the map and instructions, use your browser's print function (e.g hit CTRL-P). For best print results, use the Opera web browser. FireFox does not print the path in the map. Safari and Internet Explorer work ok.
