update -

I signed up for an AOL account to use the trip routing service but, even checking to make sure Java was enabled, it isn’t working. It won’t allow tab switching and no entry area comes up. :(

@Jessica –

Thanks for getting back. I have a suggestion. For those who like both, it’s simple enough to enter the info into the trip router to get the fastest line-up, and then enter them in the new order into the iphone app. It’s the best way right now to get the power of both… plan with the router, then get the functionality of the app.

I’m gonna do it that way for now, thanks!
Eric

Jessica, You said route planner is not YET available on the iPhone. Does that mean it will be available on the iPhone one day? That would be great!

Glad to hear both MapQuest 4 Mobile iPhone and Route Planner are helpful! Route Planner is not yet available on iPhone, but you can use it online and then print out or email the directions. The url is http://www.mapquest.com/routeplanner
There’s a feedback button on the Route Planner page as well – feel free to give us your thoughts after you use it. Thanks!

There just ain’t anything better than getting EXACTLY what you need. I have an Iphone and have to visit various businesses to verify, and collect, information and the Mapquest app is awesome. Jessica then pointed me to the perfect free program for my needs but I’m still wondering if it can be viewed on iPhone, or at least printed out.

Thanks!
Eric
ps. Got here using: iphone application multiple route mapping ;)

Jessica. Thanks for the tip. The Route Planner looks really good and this is something that will be helpful to both real estate agents and real estate appraisers! Thanks!

Hi Bryan – Glad to hear you like the MapQuest 4 Mobile app on iPhone! We often release updates so stay posted. Our blog is a great resource for this: blog.mapquest.com

I also wanted to let you know about a new tool called MapQuest Route Planner that we just launched. The tool lets you enter up to 25 addresses and then will optimize it based on shortest route or distance. It offers a round trip option and also offers a notes section for each stop (e.g. lock box code, etc). We created the product with Realtors in mind, so you should definitely check it out. http://www.mapquest.com/routeplanner

Feel free to email me with questions!

Thanks Ryan.

I couldn’t find how to map multiple addresses with the Google Maps app other than creating a map with multiple destinations on the desktop and emailing the map to myself. Let me know if you can find a way to do it on the app.

I’ll have to see if the Android has MapQuest. I use Google Maps and I’m really happy with it, but I wonder if there is a “multiple destination” feature.
