Plan your delivery day with ZIWM Route Planner. Add addresses, organize up to 100 delivery stops per route, and set a separate start and finish. SCAN PACKAGE ADDRESSES Take a photo of the recipient address inside the camera frame or choose a label photo. Text recognition runs locally on your iPhone; label photos are not uploaded or permanently saved by the app. For several packages, use continuous photo capture. The camera stays open while each photo is recognized and searched. A uniquely matched street address is added automatically after a successful save. Duplicate stops are skipped; unclear matches are kept for you to review before leaving the route page. Automatic matching is designed for US street addresses with a house number and ZIP code. PLAN AND FOLLOW YOUR ROUTE • Optimize delivery stop order and view the road route, estimated distance and travel time. • Distinguish the green start, blue numbered stops and purple finish at a glance. • Search nearby addresses, reuse recent addresses and view your current location. • Open the full route in Apple Maps or Google Maps, including the start and finish. Longer routes are divided into connected navigation segments. • Save routes, review history and track completed, skipped or unsuccessful deliveries.
