Multiple Destination Mapping Application Idea

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Application idea in from Steve:

Jason,

I have an idea for an app that I can’t seem to find. I am a truck driver for my job and it would really help me if there was a mapping app that would allow me to enter multiple destinations. I use Google Maps now, but it only lets me enter one destination. I have 8-10 stops a day and I would like to enter them all in the morning when I start my day. Thanks.

That is a great idea Steve, but I have good news. We don’t need to build an app for that; because it already exists. The app you need is called MapQuest. This app is similar to Google Maps, but there are a few extra features included. MapQuest has the option of entering multiple destinations and it also has a night mode. I have created a screenshot tutorial to walk you through the process. Please note, I took all the screenshots in night mode to illustrate that feature also.

Download MapQuest Now: Google Play(Android) or App Store(iPhone)

1. To get things started, go to the Directions button(located in your app menu) and type in two locations. Once both locations are identified and your directions are created, you should be at this screen. Click the Actions tab at the top right.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Select the Edit Route button.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Select the + Add a Location button.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Now type in your additional location.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Now you have selected your additional location. Then press the Get Directions button at the bottom right of the screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Now we are back at the map screen with our third destination shown. If you would like to add more locations, do so in step 5 before pressing the Get Directions button.
