# Route planner Google Maps multiple stops still hits a cap

Route planner Google Maps multiple stops is a directions list you build from a starting point plus up to 9 stops, and those 9 include the final destination. Knockdesk field sales software runs sales route planning on turf a rep already holds after that list is full.

## The list ends before the turf does

A google maps multiple stops route is that manual list. The stop cap is a starting point plus 9 stops, including the destination. The list does not know which turf you hold, which stops are already done, or whether anyone stood at the door. Google Maps is the directions list. It is not Knockdesk.

**Stop cap.** After the starting point you can add up to 9 stops, and those 9 include the final destination. Doors past that need another list.

**You set the order.** Drag stops into the sequence you mean to drive. The list does not hand you turf with done doors left done.

**No owner.** Anyone with the list can work the same stops. The line is not turf a rep holds.

**No visit.** Following the line is not a knock logged at the door.

## Order unfinished stops on turf you hold

On Knockdesk the stop list opens from the turf a rep holds, on pins not yet visited. Optimize order runs when 3 to 25 routable stops are selected. A larger saved pack is ordered in chunks of up to 24 unfinished stops. Finished stops stay finished. Full desk is on the pricing page. A free trial is not open.
