Major drawbacks include inconsistent in-app navigation, a time-consuming point-adding process (especially beyond ~10 stops), a dated UI, and data-management quirks (updating addresses, deleting contacts). It lacks arrival/departure times and full driving directions, so it’s best for planning ahead rather than real-time navigation. ### Pros - Great for planning routes with many stops (20+ addresses) and saving time. - Easy to set up: name each waypoint and add an address or drop a pin on the map. - Useful for work tasks and memorizing/planning multiple locations before driving. - Supports launching directions through external navigation apps, not limited to built-in GPS. - Some users feel the additional waypoint feature is worth the price for power users. ### Cons - Navigation is not consistently built-in or reliable; some reviews say it works, others say it doesn’t, causing confusion. - Adding many points is time-consuming and can be inaccurate; beyond about 10 stops may require an extra purchase. - Outdated, wordy interface and not very user-friendly; unnecessary information required to add a point. - Managing addresses/contacts can be clunky: updating a client’s address may require recreating it, and deleting a contact on a route isn’t straightforward. - Lacks time-based planning features like arrival/departure times and isn’t a full GPS for driving directions. ## Similar extensions and apps - [PlaceMaker Route Planner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id951375734) — 4.70 / 5 - [経路作成 - RouteMaker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1547928805) - [WayPoint X: Route Planner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6741455428) — 3.00 / 5 - [RouteLoop Multi Stop Planner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6769036956) - [Route Planner - GPS & Maps](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6756566984) - [Moto Plan](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1434254826) — 3.40 / 5 - [Route Planner for Spoke](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6747409525) - [Route creator](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1424376233) — 3.70 / 5 - [Route Planner, Delivery, MyWay](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1557014712) — 4.80 / 5 - [Road Tripper](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id398967661) — 3.80 / 5 - [Routingo Route Planner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1561796673) — 2.00 / 5 - [route knots](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6756926987) --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id966111128)
