How am I the first to review this?

I’m genuinely surprised more people aren’t talking about this extension. If you plan walking routes, road trips, bike tours, or any kind of multi-stop journey in Google Maps, this tool feels like discovering a hidden superpower. It solves problems I’ve been running into for years.

What makes it so valuable is how many limitations it removes:

No more 10-stop cap—add as many as you need
Automatically optimize the stop order to save time and fuel
Send the route to your phone without losing carefully planned waypoints
Export to Apple Maps, TomTom Planner, Bing, and Yandex
Save routes as GPX or KML for use in other apps or devices
Bookmark, organize, and preview all your planned routes
Copy and paste places or segments directly into a route
Split long routes exactly where you want
Reverse any route, not just simple two-point ones
Instantly toggle Street View images

The extension feels like what Google Maps should have built in. It has already become one of those tools I don’t want to plan without, and I hope more people discover it so the developer keeps building on it.

Truly indispensable for anyone who plans routes seriously—or just loves exploring.
