Free Multi-Drop Route Planner for Australian Deliveries
Paste your Australian postcodes and get the optimised stop order in seconds, no sign-up required.
Paste up to 100 Australian postcodes and this tool works out the fastest order to visit them, using the same nearest-neighbour and 2-opt approach professional routing tools use. Set a start point and, optionally, an end point, then open the result directly in Google Maps or share it with your team.
Free Multi-Drop Route Planner for Australian Deliveries
This tool takes a list of Australian postcodes and works out the quickest order to visit them. It's built for anyone who drives to multiple stops in a day - couriers, tradies on call-outs, sales reps covering a territory, or a delivery round of any size.
Nothing you paste in ever leaves your browser or gets saved anywhere.
Who Uses This Tool?
Turn a messy list of drops into a sensible run, whatever the size of the round.
Re-run the optimiser mid-shift as fresh jobs land, without starting the whole plan over.
Fit more call-outs into a day by cutting the driving time between them.
Turn a scattered list of client visits into a tight loop across the territory.
Line up inspections back-to-back instead of criss-crossing the same suburb twice.
Keep the run between kitchen and doorstep as short as possible while orders are still hot.
How the Route Optimiser Works
Under the bonnet, the tool builds an initial route with a nearest-neighbour pass, then refines it further with 2-opt swaps - the same pairing of techniques commonly used to approximate the Travelling Salesman Problem. The whole calculation finishes in well under a second, even for a full 100-stop list.
Every distance in that calculation is a straight line between postcode centre points, not a road-network distance. That's a deliberate trade-off: it's more than accurate enough to get the stop order right, even though your actual driving distance on the day will run a bit longer than the number shown.
- Paste your postcodes - straight from a spreadsheet, an email, or any block of text. Repeats are dropped automatically.
- Give it a start point - and an end point too, if the round needs to finish somewhere specific.
- Hit Optimise - the best visiting order comes back straight away.
- Pass the route on - WhatsApp, text, email, or a plain link all work.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the maximum number of stops?
The limit is 100 stops per route, and the calculation is instant whether you're using 5 or all 100.
Is it really free?
Yes - no account, no payment details, no catch beyond the 100-stop limit.
Do you store my postcodes?
No. Everything is calculated locally in your browser and nothing is logged on our end. Sharing a route just packages the postcodes into the link itself, so there's nothing sitting on a server anywhere.
Can I use full street addresses, not just postcodes?
Yes, in two places. Your start and end points accept a street address once you've entered a postcode, just start typing the street name and pick from the list. For your stops, upload a CSV with an address column and the tool will resolve each stop to its precise location instead of the postcode centre, which makes a real difference when several stops share the same postcode. The paste box still accepts plain postcodes if that's quicker for a short list.
How precise is the distance figure?
It's a straight-line measurement between postcode centre points, not a road distance. That's the right tool for getting the visiting order right; for the actual kilometres you'll drive, expect a somewhat higher number once you're on the road.
Can I use this for turn-by-turn navigation?
The tool itself only works out the order - for actual turn-by-turn directions, open the result in Google Maps. Google Maps caps a single trip at 10 stops, so a longer round needs splitting into batches there.
