Plotting postcodes??

Bebs

I wonder if someone can help, for a job I have to visit about 10 different postcodes, is there any way to put these postcodes into my Tomtom one and it will work out the nearest route first?

If not, is there some software I could use?

Thanks for your help.

I dont know about your sat nav but you could get directions from google maps and move the order of the destinations around as required. Once the first set of postcodes have been put in and directions got you will see on the map of the route which would be a better order?

There may be specific software for this but this option is free :-)

MultiMap works wonders

If you just want to know which is nearest, then Google Maps will do it. If you want to work out the quickest route to visit all 10 in turn, that's a bit more complex.

Not Really, Checkout http://www.mapquest.com/ (I thought It was MultiMap, My bad)

I'd go with Niv's suggestion and use some common sense to work out some sensible orders to try. There's about 3.6m combinations, so I'd definitely narrow it down by sight before you start!

It's called the travelling salesman problem.
