What do use to plan your routes out

Do any off use use apps to plan the best and fastest routes ? 
I’m looking at a app called circuit ? 

No don’t use anything apart from my local knowledge and plan all the rounds using that . 

Squeegee say they do route optimisation but I'm not sure it does the navigation bit.

Just looked at Circuit Route Planner and it seems it's £239.88 a year!!! Might be cheaper to switch to Squeegee if that does navigating?

We cover a 10mile radius and some jobs that come in I haven’t Hurd of the streets before so I think it may be batter to plan the fastest routes mate

Rather go to pen and paper then go to squeegee 

We haven’t had a good experience with it mate

Ok , google earth maybe ???

No but it should only take a couple of washes to work out the best, most efficient, route.

I use experience young man, experience!!!!

Route xl is free and I use that when adding new jobs to rounds etc. The squeegee route optimisation is my only gripe with the app, it’s awful!!!

No don't use anything other than brain power local knowledge and how long it takes to get home for tea time 

I use cleaner planner, but I don't use the diary, I just have everything organised into rounds, and work my way through them.

At times I juggle the order, for instance if its windy in an area, I will move to a more sheltered area, or if I have 30 mins left, I may go an do an odd one thats due, rather than start a group I won't have time to finnish.
