online map that i can pinpoint multiple destinations on?

Hello

I have a job delivering parcels and I need some kind on online map where i can key in all the postcodes of my destinations and it brings them up on a map..
I dont need a route planner, as there is no order in which i can deliver, just the quickest way. as i unfamiliar with all the rds in the area some kind of online map would be ideal

I have tried aa route planner but it only takes a few destinations, and rac route planner plans the route in order.. no good for me..

any ideas??

    If you have a smartphone (Android, iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Phone 7 to name a few) with GPS, you can use Google maps, then all you need to do is star (favourite) your destinations and the click the closest star on the map.

    You can then get voice guided navigation like a standard sat-nav by picking the closest starred destinations in order.

    So you do need a route planner.

    Rac route planner does that, pick your start point, and choose the furthest delivery point, add in the other delivery and tell it do the quickest route.

    This is the travelling salesman problem, it is veryhard to solve once the numbers increase
  • http://gebweb.net/optimap/ - although it shows a map of California just type UK post codes in 'Add Location by Address' box and it will show them on a UK map. If you want a route plan click the 'Calculate Fastest Route' button.
