When a list of stops needs more than a map
MapQuest did the job back when you printed directions off a desktop. But if you run a route, you’ve hit the wall: 26 stops max, and even then it drives them in the order you typed, not the order that gets you done fastest. So you’re still dragging stops around by hand, still crossing town twice, still guessing.
That’s the point where a dedicated route planner helps. Bodha takes your stops, finds the fastest order, and shows the arrival time for each one before you set off, so you can plan a fuller day in a few seconds and spend less of it backtracking.
One click, and your stops are in the fastest order
Add your stops in any order, then optimize once. Bodha sequences them into the quickest route on a real map, with an arrival time, leg distance, and drive time for every stop, plus your total distance and finish time. It's the piece a mapping tool leaves to you, handled automatically.
Real roads and real drive times, not straight-line guesses
See how much you save versus your original order
Drag a stop to adjust, then re-optimize anytime
A route you can read top to bottom
Your route reads like a proper run sheet: your start, every stop in order with its ETA, the drive time to the next, and your finish. Download it as a PDF and keep it on the dash, so you're not glancing at a phone at every light.
Arrival time on every stop, counted from your start
One-tap PDF you can print and drive off
Switch km/mi, set your start time, works well on phones
Bring your stops in from a spreadsheet
If your addresses are already in Excel or a CSV, you can import the whole list instead of typing each one. Upload the file, choose the address column, and Bodha locates every row, flagging anything it can't read so nothing slips through.
Takes .csv, .xlsx and .xls
Detects the address column automatically
Lists any rows it can't find, so there are no silent drops
From a list of addresses to a sorted route in six steps

Frequently Asked Questions
The best alternative to MapQuest for route planning is a tool that optimizes your stop order, which most mapping apps don't do. Bodha is a strong option: it's free with no signup, plans up to 30 stops per route, works out the fastest order for you, shows per-stop ETAs, and prints a route sheet. For everyday directions, Google Maps and Waze are also good choices.
Yes, Bodha is a free MapQuest alternative, with no signup and no credit card. You can optimize up to 30 stops per route and plan unlimited routes at no cost. Heavier use and team features are part of the paid Bodha app and fleet plans, which is what keeps the planner free.
The main difference is that Bodha optimizes your stop order, while MapQuest keeps the order you enter. Bodha also plans up to 30 stops per route, shows per-stop ETAs before you leave, supports five vehicle types, imports spreadsheets, and prints a PDF route sheet. MapQuest remains a solid tool for straightforward point-to-point directions.
Delivery drivers often look for MapQuest alternatives when they outgrow its 26-stop routes or want the stop order optimized automatically. Since mapping apps generally keep the order you enter, a route planner like Bodha that sequences stops for speed and shows arrival times can save time on a multi-stop day.
Bodha lets you add up to 30 stops per route and plan unlimited routes for free, compared with MapQuest's 26 stops per route. Thirty stops covers most daily delivery and service runs. For more than 30 in a single route, you'd use the Bodha app or fleet plan.
The free web planner runs online in your browser, so it isn't an offline tool. For offline navigation on the road, along with saved routes and turn-by-turn directions, the Bodha app handles that. The web planner is designed for planning and optimizing your route before you set off.
No, the free route planner has no ads. You plan your route with no signup and no credit card, and head off.
For more than 30 stops in one route, or to route multiple drivers, the Bodha app or fleet plan is the next step. Solo drivers get navigation and saved routes in the app, and teams get multiple drivers, unlimited stops, live tracking, and proof of delivery in the fleet web app.
