Hit 50 residential installs this month and it changed how I plan my routes

Always thought I could just wing it on scheduling jobs across town, but after fifty installs in 30 days the backtracking finally got to me. Lost an hour driving past three houses I needed to wire later that same week. Has anyone else found a decent route planner that accounts for traffic in Austin?

Oh man, I feel your pain on that backtracking nightmare! Give Route4Me a try, it's saved my sanity in Houston traffic and lets you set specific time windows for each stop.

Haha man I feel that. I swear half my week is just driving past the same houses twice because I didn't plan ahead. @morgan.nancy mentioned Route4Me and I've actually used it a little - it's decent but I still end up ignoring it half the time cause I think I know better. Maybe that's just me being stubborn though. Traffic in Austin is a whole other beast, I can't even imagine trying to do 50 installs in a month down there without losing your mind.
