I'm trying to go car shopping today and have loads of garages marked to go and visit.

Is there any website where you can enter multiple destination postcodes and it will tell you the shortest route and which order to visit them all?

All the TomTom stuff seems to be for the shortest route from A to B. If you have multiple destinations you need to be telling the TomTom which ones you want to visit in which order.

Such a modern dilemma!!

I'd just get the map out and play dot - to dot, but that makes me an old fart, I guess!! Rolling Eyes

Love maps though Laughing

on a Sat Nav you should be able to plot your journey to the first destination, then add destinations on after that in order....

Google maps will let you add multiple destinations to your route and swap their order about.

Although I also have preferred map books myself Very Happy

Haha, the good old traveling salesman problem from AI lessons Laughing

A tear drop shape is pretty good if you plan to return to the original starting place. Don't forget to factor in road selection too.
