The short answer

Updated October 19, 2026

Lite Route Planner is a route planner app that runs in the browser on iPhone, Android, tablets and computers, so there's nothing to download from an app store and nothing to update. Drivers sign in with a code emailed to them, see their routes in order with drive time and distance between stops, open each stop in Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze with one tap, and mark it Visited or Attempted. It's free for up to 50 addresses, and driver accounts come with Business, from $59.99 a month with unlimited drivers.

The driver app

What your driver sees

The day's routes, in order, with drive time and distance between stops. A tap on a stop opens it in Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze, whichever the driver picked. A note you put on the stop, like a gate code or which door to use, is right there. When they're done, they mark it Visited or Attempted and can add a note, and you see it in the planner within seconds.

Why a browser app instead of an app store app

Most route planner apps ask the same of every driver: find the app, install it, make an account, remember the password, keep it updated. That's fine for a full-time driver with a company phone. It's a hurdle for a seasonal helper, a part-timer on their own phone, or the owner's nephew covering Saturday.

Lite skips all of that. The driver gets an invite by email, signs in with a code, and the route is on the screen. It works in Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, and on a tablet in the truck. To keep it a tap away, add it to the home screen from the browser's share or menu button, like any website.

Working alone? You don't need a driver account. On every plan, free included, you can open your own routes on your phone and mark stops as you go. For someone who only needs to follow along, a share link or QR code shows the stops in order in any browser, with no account; share links are view-only. Here's how to send a route to a driver's phone each way.

Get a driver set up in about a minute

  1. 1

    Invite them

    Add the driver by email from the planner. Business includes unlimited drivers, with no fee per driver.

  2. 2

    They sign in with a code

    They tap the link in the invite, and we email them a code to type in. No password to create or forget.

  3. 3

    Assign a route

    Pick the driver on any route. It shows up on their phone in order, ready to go.

  4. 4

    They choose a navigation app once

    Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, or Automatic (Apple Maps on iPhone, Google Maps elsewhere). Every stop opens in it from then on.

How driver apps compare

Most route planners for teams send drivers to an app store. Here's what each one asks of a driver, and what it gives you in return.

Which kind of app fits your crew

Choose Lite if

  • Drivers change often, work part-time or use their own phones
  • You don't want to manage installs, updates and passwords
  • A Visited or Attempted mark with a note is enough record of each stop
  • You want one flat price however many drivers you add

Choose an app-store route planner if

  • Drivers work where there's no signal and need routes offline
  • You need photos, signatures or barcode scans at each stop
  • You want live GPS tracking of every driver
  • You drive alone and want planning and navigation in one native app, like Spoke's Route Planner app at $9.99 a month

FAQ

Questions, answered.

The questions people ask before they plan their first route.

Try it free

Is Lite Route Planner in the App Store or Google Play?

No. Lite Route Planner runs in the phone's browser on iPhone and Android, so there's nothing to download or update. You can add it to your home screen from the browser's menu, like any website.

Does the route planner app work on Android?

Yes. It works in Chrome and other current browsers on Android, and in Safari on iPhone and iPad. The same account works on a computer, where planning is easiest.

Do drivers need a password?

No. Drivers sign in with a code sent to their email, and they see the routes assigned to them, in order.

Does the driver app work offline?

No. It needs a data connection to load routes and record visits. If your drivers often work without signal, an app with an offline mode will suit them better.

Can I see where my drivers are?

Not as a live GPS dot. You see each stop turn Visited or Attempted in the planner within seconds of the driver marking it, which shows how far along each route is.

Is the app free?

Free for up to 50 addresses, and on any plan you can drive your own routes from your phone. Separate driver accounts come with Business, from $59.99 a month with unlimited drivers and no per-driver fee.

Which navigation apps does it work with?

Google Maps, Apple Maps and Waze. Drivers pick one, or leave it on Automatic, which uses Apple Maps on iPhone and Google Maps elsewhere. Each stop then opens in that app with one tap for turn-by-turn directions.
