Question Can't optimize route in Wyoming???

Hello All,

I am not able to optimize a route with about 140 addresses in the state of WY. I have never had this problem before. I imported the addresses from my excel database as usual. All the locations show up on the map, but going to optimize, I get error telling me that the first location can not be routed to due to no road accessing the location.

I have gone as far as deleting the first handfull of addresses, and I get the same error.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

Re: Can't optimize route in Wyoming???

I think you need to loop over and test each stop to see if it's routable. I kept having this problem in Florida where there are lots of canals or whatever they call them down there.

However there may still be some problems with Optimization - even when all stops are routable. I think this occurs when there are dead-end one way streets.

So - no good solution except to do some programming to help find which stop or stops are causing the problem and remove or adjust it or them.

Re: Can't optimize route in Wyoming???

Thanks for the advice. After going through each of the 140 stops (one by one) I was able to locate a stinker sitting on a fork in the road! I moved it up a block and all worked well!

Again, thanks.

What a pain, but glad you solved it.

I remember having problems with dead end streets that were one way - imagine hesitation of the person having to do a delivery to such a location - once you go in you can't come out! Or having to work at a location like that.
