Route Planning

View my route on a map

See any route on a map in Upper Route Planner. Numbered stop pins, a Map/Satellite toggle, and a quick scan that catches misplaced stops before dispatch.

Every route in Upper Route Planner shows on a map beside your stop list. Numbered pins mark each stop, and a Map / Satellite toggle lets you switch between the standard map and satellite imagery. Use the map to confirm your stops landed in the right place and to sanity-check the overall shape of the route before you send it to drivers.

Reading a list of addresses doesn't tell you whether a route makes geographic sense. A quick look at the map shows you a stop that geocoded to the wrong city, or a far-flung outlier — far cheaper to fix now than after a driver is already on the road.

Open a route on the map

Go to your routes

In the left sidebar, open the Plan group and select Route Plan. This is your My Route Plan list.

Open a route

Click the route you want to view. The route opens in the builder with the stop list on the left and the map on the right.

Read the map

Each stop shows as a numbered pin on the map. Pan by dragging, and zoom with your scroll wheel or the on-map controls.

Switch between Map and Satellite

The map has a Map / Satellite toggle. Use Map for the standard street view, and Satellite when you want to see what a delivery location actually looks like from above — useful for confirming a loading dock, gate, or building entrance.

Zoom out before you dispatch so the whole route fits on screen. A tight cluster of pins with one pin sitting far away usually means that stop's address didn't geocode correctly. Open the stop and fix the address before you share the route.

After you optimize

Once you run Optimize Route, the optimized result keeps the same numbered pins, now in the optimized visiting order. On the map you can also box-select several stops at once — Upper shows a Selected N stops popover that lets you reassign them to another driver. The stop list beside the map shows each stop's estimated arrival time.

Estimated arrival times are calculated from historical traffic data, so the times you see on the map reflect typical conditions for that time of day.

Troubleshooting

Your workspace may use Technician and Service labels instead of Driver and Delivery. The steps are the same — only the wording on screen changes.
