I'm not sure what the issue is. Creating routes in MapPoint is pretty easy. Just add two or more pushpins on a map, add them to a route and calculate the directions. You can then decide whether you want the fastest or shortest (most direct) route, and if you have more than 2 stops you can ask MapPoint to find the optimal sequence. MapPoint will produce a highlighted route path on the map and a set of driving directions that you can view, print and paste into Excel for further formatting/analysis.
