There are probably some places in your service area that you would like to avoid, such as high-crime areas and particularly accident-prone intersections.
It’s hard enough to plan routes manually when you don’t account for these places. You already need to consider traffic, construction, customer availability, and many other factors. That can take hours. When you try to account for avoidance zones on top of all that, planning routes is just about impossible to do by yourself.
Of course, there’s no reason to plan routes by yourself. You can use Route4Me instead.
Creating an avoidance zone in Route4Me is as simple as drawing a shape over your address book map. Then, apply the avoidance zone to your route to find the most efficient way to visit your stops while avoiding the places you want to avoid.
You can add up to 10 avoidance zones to each route.
