It only takes a few minutes to create a route with Straightaway, and a few seconds more to optimize it for the fastest route.
Step 1: Add all of your stops
On the main screen tap “Create a Route” button
Tap the “Start” field and set the address for the starting location
Tap the “End” field and set the address for the end location
To add stops with the camera - tap the 📷 button in the top right corner and enable your camera. Take a picture of a list of stops, shipping labels, your computer screen or anything with an address to add stops. On iOS, once you’ve taken the picture, tap the “Use Photo” button at the bottom right corner of the screen. On Android, Straightaway will automatically recognize the addresses and add them to your route.
To manually add stops - tap the “Add a stop” field in the top search bar. Type in the address you want to add and select it from the list of results.
Keep entering address or taking pictures of your stops until you’ve added all your stops
Note: Straightaway will allow you to reorder all of your stops for the fastest route later, so don't worry about adding your stops in order.
Once you’ve added all you stops, tap “Done” to complete the process setting up the route
Step 2: Optimize your route
Once you’ve added all your stops and tapped “Done”, you will see all your stops on a map. Make sure that all your stops are generally in the same area and that you don’t have any outlier stops located several thousand miles away.
To optimize your route:
Tap the ⠇ button and select “Optimize Order”
Straightaway will create the best route for you by putting your stops in the most efficient order.
Once your stops are optimized, you see how many minutes you saved by optimizing the route
Note: If you didn't set a start and end location, Straightaway uses your current location instead.
Step 3: Navigate to your stops
If you're happy with your route, tap the 'Start Route' button.
Your first stop will be automatically highlighted.
Click “Get Directions” to navigate to your first stop.
Straightaway has turn-by-turn navigation built into the app so there is no need to switch apps to get your stops
Once you arrive at the stop, click ✓ button to mark the stop complete
To move to the next stop, swipe left on the address to reveal the next stop
Repeat for your next stop
