Import routes

Use the text box below to import multiple routes at a time. Place each route on its own line as follows:

RouteName1,ZoneName1|ZoneName2|ZoneName3|...|ZoneNameN,Comment
RouteName2,ZoneName1|ZoneName2|ZoneName3|...|ZoneNameN,Comment
RouteName3,ZoneName1|ZoneName2|ZoneName3|...|ZoneNameN,Comment

Each line represents a route to be imported. The sequence you name the route stops using zone names is the sequence the route will save them as. If your route is a round trip, ensure that the first and last zone name are the same.

Help

Overview
This utility helps you import routes to your account using comma separated values (CSV).

Work flow
Routes on Geotab can be thought of as waypoints through a sequence of zones. Initially a cache will be created of all the zones currently on your account. The input provided is parsed and if all zone waypoints exist, a new route is saved to your account.
