Waypoint maps?
The map for Virtualizer routing works okay*, but it does seem like using a second phone with a maps app that supported multiple waypoints would be useful. I'm sure there would always be fiddly bits to sort out manually, but it might help for getting a fair chunk of a project's set of roads covered. Neither Waze nor Apple Maps supports more than one waypoint within a route, sadly. Does one exist?
(* Okay, it forgets which direction it's going at the drop of a hat, but it sorts itself out in reasonably quick time when the car is moving. ;)

Keith,
I recommend using a second tablet not a phone. Trying to look at a tiny maps gets old real fast. We use a map app that also keeps track of where we have captured imagery in real time and colors in the map as we drive. We have also developed a system that automatically sends the routes we have driven to our server and to each of our drivers so that we can have multiple drivers who always know what has been driven and what is left on a large project. The data can also be tracked in real time in Google Earth by our schedulers. I'm always happy to share if anyone wants the details.

I'm very interested and curious, thanks for the offer! I think there's no DM feature here but if this should be offline to prevent cluttering up the forum I'm thatkeith@mac.com.
