Turn a transport order into one route link

Drop the PDF or Word order straight onto the page. The addresses come out of it, you drag them into the right order, and you get one Google Maps link to send the driver — instead of twelve open tabs.

Attach the order

Drop the PDF or Word file here
or click to choose. PDF, Word, plain text — several at once is fine.

The file is opened inside your browser and never uploaded anywhere. A scanned PDF — a photograph of a page — carries no text to read, so those still have to be typed.

Or paste the text

Works with Outlook order mails, Excel columns and plain lists. Everything is processed in your browser — nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Who opens the link

Google honours nine waypoints on a desktop but only three in a mobile browser. Opened in the Maps app on the phone the long link works — in the browser it silently drops stops, so for the driver I split it.

Route options

“Start navigation straight away” makes the link open directly in guidance mode on the driver’s phone instead of showing the overview first.

No stops yet. Paste an order on the left and press “Add stops”, or add one by hand.

The link

Message for the driver

“Copy link to this route” gives you an ldmtools.com address with the whole stop list inside it. Save that with the order instead of leaving a Maps tab open.

Google Maps routes cars, not trucks. It knows nothing about your height, weight, length or ADR load, and it will not respect lorry bans. Use it for the order of the stops — check the legality of the roads yourself, and the weekend and holiday bans in the driving ban calendar.
Addresses are sent to Google only when you or the driver actually open the link. Nothing is stored on this site and nothing is sent anywhere else. If an address does not resolve, add the company name in front of it — Google finds warehouses by name far more reliably than by street number.

Questions about multi-stop links

Can it read the PDF or Word order straight from the customer?

Yes — drop the file on the page, or click to choose it. It reads PDF, Word (.docx) and plain text, several files at once, and pulls the loading and unloading addresses with their time windows out of both table layouts and stacked address blocks. The file is opened by your own browser and never uploaded to this site or anywhere else.

Why does Google Maps only allow ten stops?

That is the limit of the consumer product, not of this tool. A single Maps link carries a start, an end and nine waypoints between them. Past that the tool splits your route into legs that overlap at the junction stop, so leg two starts where leg one finished and nothing is lost.

The driver opens the link and half the stops are missing.

He opened it in the phone's browser rather than the Maps app. Google only honours three waypoints in a mobile browser and silently drops the rest. Switch “Who opens the link” to the driver's phone and the route is split into fives, which survives either way.

Does this route the truck properly?

No, and nothing free does. Google routes a car: no bridge heights, no weight limits, no HGV-banned roads, no ADR restrictions. Use the link for the sequence of stops and the rough kilometres, and check the restrictions yourself before you send it.

Where do my addresses go?

Nowhere. Files are opened and parsed by your browser, and the addresses only reach Google at the moment somebody clicks the link. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account, no database and no logging on this site.

An address will not resolve on the map.

Put the company name in front of the street: “Spedition Weber GmbH, Industriestrasse 14, 40880 Ratingen”. Warehouses and terminals are usually in Google under their business name even when the street number is wrong or the site entrance is on another road. Coordinates work too — paste them as 56.9496, 24.1052.
