Toots if does "Optimise" what would be the point of putting it in in the right order


I tried it and it only lets me put 6 routes in and it didn't put them in order of shortest trip so I don't see how it's optimised :?


i meant autoroute, i use 2006 which is reputed to be better than versions, it may also be linkable to a GPS mouse and used as a satnav on your lappie

This maybe classed as taking the pish, but, you did such a great job last time and I am currently working on 3 other routes as I type, well when I stop typing.

This was supposed to be South Wales but as you will see there are certain parts of England that have apparently snook into Wales :shock:

Swansea SA6 8PS
Swansea SA5 4BB
Llantrisant CF72 8RP
Merthyr Tydfil CF48 2YF
Llanelli SA15 1BX
Cwmbran NP44 1UL
Coedkernew NP10 8XL
Pontprennau CF23 8NL
Cardiff CF14 7EW
Nantyglow Brynmawr NP23 4SL
Cardiff CF11 0JR
Western Super Mare BS24 7AY
Gloucester GL1 1PU
Gloucester GL1 1DS
Shropshire TF1 2DE
Longwell Green BS30 7DY
Bristol BS34 5TL
Estover PL6 8TB
St Austell PL25 4PR

All help is gratefully appreciated :D

It must be the autoroute they come up fine on AA route planner. One is Murray Street, Llanelli, Swansea SA15 1BX and the other is Unit 11 Forest Fach, Pontardulais Road, Cadle, Swansea SA5 4BB :D

Ok sorry again not enough info, my bad. Starting here and ending down south. Each postcode involves an approx. 30 min stopover, I will also be stopping over night at least twice. Allowing driving time and a work day of approx. 8/10 hours in total. I need the most efficient route that takes the least time :wink:

It's not a case of what I need it's what I'm given. It will be between Mon - Thurs and I have just been told there are a couple more visits to add but won't find out what they are until tomorrow :D

most drops are south wales (obviously) the TF1 would be your first then it depends how much you wish to avoid the severn crossing toll cos the two GL1's should be next, after which you could either double back north then A40 and down thru ross/monmouth

mileage about the same, bit avoiding the toll road though
