With MapPoint, you have to decide which of the stops go in each route. MapPoint can then optimize (find the right order) for each route.

We are preparing to sell "TourSolver for MapPoint" to the North American market in the next week or so. This will optimize locations between routes (eg. give it 100 stops with time constraints and the maximum number of routes/vehicles, and it will come up with the best combination).
TourSolver can also apply other constraints (eg. truck capacity for a delivery application).
