Best apps for route optimization

I’ve been trying to find ways to streamline my deliveries, especially during peak hours. Recently, I came across a couple of apps that claim to optimize routes effectively, but I’d love to hear what you all are using. Any recommendations would really help.

I’ve found Google Maps to be pretty reliable, especially if you tweak the settings for avoiding tolls or heavy traffic. Just don’t rely on it like a GPS on a road trip — sometimes it can lead you the scenic route when you just want to get there quickly. @DeliveryDan might have some solid suggestions too.

I totally get the struggle, especially during peak hours. A couple of weeks ago, I tried out Waze for my deliveries, and it surprisingly helped me avoid a ton of traffic. Just keep in mind that it can get a bit chatty with those alerts, which can be distracting. Have you given it a shot?

Have you tried using RoadWarrior? I used it during peak hours last week, and it really helped me plan out stops more efficiently. It even considers real-time traffic, which made a noticeable difference.
