I don't even know if there is such a thing. But I am looking for an app or navigation device that i can input multiple addresses and it will show me the most efficient route to hit all of the addresses.

It does exist, but it is a fairly expensive app...typically only used by companies to route their fleet, etc....my company is on the verge of implementing something like that with GPS domes on the trucks...

I know you can google map multiple addresses and it'll give you a route to hit all destinations

Fairly simple really.

Head to the closest point first...then the closest point to there...and so on.

Typically gives the shortest distance once all destinations are hit.

Not 100%...but easy.

WAZE app. Do you final destination then you can enter in stops along the way.

Constantly updates and give ETAs. Can choose alternate routes once started and gives wrecks and copper updates.

You can add up to 10 stops on Google maps, and though it won't arrange them for you, it's fairly easy to look at the map and arrange them in the most efficient order. It will only do this on the website and not on mobile devices I think. It's free.

Microsoft streets and trips will let you put in as many stops as you want to and will arrange them for you in the most efficient way. It's $60 with the GPS adapter.

Depends on what you use Nav Apps for.

In my professional opinion as a pizza boy, a 12 mile radius area full of neighborhoods is best suited by Google Maps. It's fast, easy to put multiple addresses in (and stays in top cached addresses for quick reference), AND the absolute best part of Google Maps over other free Nav Apps is property lines. I can drive blind down a street in a neighborhood(without looking at addresses, not actually blind) b/c I can see the customer is the 4th house on left. Cant do that with other Apps like Waze or Bing.

Zoom in on this. You can also see shape of structure which is surprisingly accurate.
Example. Leblancs Pville.
