Google Maps has evolved far beyond basic directions. Google’s New Landmark Navigation, powered by Google Gemini, adds an intuitive twist to multi-stop route planning. This new feature guides users with visual and well-known cues such as gas stations, restaurants, and major buildings. For businesses and travellers working with multiple destinations, these updates bring real advantages.
Google Maps now includes prominent landmarks along your route, helping you orient yourself and gauge progress far more intuitively. Instead of relying solely on street names, your navigation includes visual reference points like “turn left after the red brick library” or “your next stop is just past the main post office.” This is especially useful in busy cities or unfamiliar areas.
You can add multiple stops in Google Maps, rearrange their order, and get turn-by-turn navigation enhanced by landmarks. However, Google Maps limits you to 10 stops per route and does not automatically optimize stop order.
MyRouteOnline’s AI-powered route planner simplifies planning for dozens or even hundreds of stops. You upload your addresses (by talking, uploading Excel files or typing), and the AI optimizes your route for minimal driving time and maximal efficiency.
Instead of exporting routes to Google Maps, users can open Google Maps navigation directly from the MyRoute app. This integration means you benefit both from MyRouteOnline’s powerful optimization and Google’s landmark navigation real-time guidance, without manual transfers.
This combined workflow reduces manual work, saves time, and ensures every stop is efficiently ordered and easy to navigate. Whether you’re a delivery professional, field technician, or traveler seeking the best route through multiple destinations, AI route planning with landmark-enabled navigation creates a truly smart routing experience.
