How to merge routes into a single route using the Routes Map?

To combine routes into a single new multi stop route using the Routes Map:

1. First, go to Routes Map from the navigation menu.

2. Next, select the routes that you want to merge by checking the corresponding boxes, go to File and then select Merge Selected into New Route from the menu.

3. After that, input the address from which you want the new merged route to start and then click on the Apply button to finish.

4. Once the selected sub-routes are merged, the new merged route is added to your Routes List and displayed on the Routes Map accordingly.

NOTE: When merging sub-routes into a new single route with multiple destinations, the original sub-routes are not affected in any way.

Assign Users and Vehicles to the New Optimized Route

When you merge multiple sub-routes that have different assigned users (delivery drivers, sales reps, field service technicians, etc.) and vehicles, the user and the vehicle assigned to the route that you put the first in the Merge Routes Sequence editor are assigned to the merged route.

Thus, if you merge 4 sub-routes with different assigned users and vehicles and you put the sub-route number 4 as the first one in the Merge Routes Sequence editor, the merged route will inherit the same assigned user and vehicle as the sub-route number 4.

Remove Sub-Route Origin Addresses

When each multi stop route starts from its own different depot or warehouse, you may want to exclude all depots from the merged route. To do so, when merging sub-routes, check the Remove Sub-Route Origin Addresses box.

When you remove the sub-routes’ origin addresses, the addresses/depots from which each sub-route starts are excluded from the merged route.
