I paid for the subscription because I need to plan a garbage route. I’m driving a garbage truck. I cannot turn around in driveways. After inputting all of my addresses, the created route does point to point as if I were turning around at each stop. How do I correct this as it seems like a major blind spot for routing software.

We offer an experimental option that might help. You can adjust the settings under _Options \> Advanced \> Stop penalty_. Setting it to “← 300” may reduce arrivals and departures on the left side of the road.

Please note that this feature is experimental and could lead to unexpected results, poor routing, or slower responses. If it doesn’t resolve the issue, remember to reset the setting.

We’d appreciate it if you could share some examples of your routes. Preferably, use the “Share” button and email them to [info@routexl.com](mailto:info@routexl.com).
