Import your ordersCopy link
Orders enter Routing24 four ways: add one by address, paste a list, upload a spreadsheet, or import Google Calendar events. All four are reachable from the Home page or the Orders page. You can mix them in one plan.
Add a single order by addressCopy link
On the Orders page, press + Add new, type an address, and pick the right match from the suggestions. Routing24 geocodes it to an exact point on the map and saves it as an order.
Use this for a one-off order or to replace a missing one. When an address does not resolve, place the pin by hand: choose Customize in the order editor and drag the pin to the exact door.
Paste a list of addressesCopy link
On the Home page, press Paste address list. Paste your addresses, one per line. Routing24 geocodes each line and opens a wizard:
The wizard asks for your starting (home) location, your number of vehicles and working hours, and a default service time per order. It can then start the optimization. When Routing24 cannot locate some lines, a fix-up step with tips opens before it imports anything.
Include enough detail per line (street, city, postal code where you have it) so each address resolves to the right place. If you have a full address from Google Maps, use it instead. Remove personal data (names, floor and apartment numbers). It can lead to incorrect geocoding.
Upload a spreadsheetCopy link
For larger or recurring routes, press Import Excel file on the Home page, or More > Import from Excel on any editor page. Routing24 reads XLSX, XLS, or CSV: one row per order, with columns for the address and any per-order details you track. Orders, depots, and vehicles can all come from one file.
Every import ends on a review dialog that reports what Routing24 found:
When some rows have problems, the dialog lists each one with its sheet, cell, and consequence. You can still import the valid rows.
Press Download template on the Home page (or More > Download template on any editor page) to get a spreadsheet with the right headers and example rows for your area. Fill it with your data and re-import it.
Only the address column is required. The full set of recognized columns, including time windows, loads, priorities, and tags, is in the spreadsheet column reference.
Import from Google CalendarCopy link
Press Import calendar on the Home page to turn calendar events into orders. You authorize your Google account, then pick the calendars and the date range. Routing24 creates one order per event, using the event location as the address and, optionally, the event time as the delivery time window.
After importingCopy link
Check the map: every order should sit roughly where you expect. Unresolved addresses carry a red NOT GEOLOCATED badge on the Address Book page. See Fix unrecognized or mislocated addresses.

Add a vehicle and depot, then optimize. Plan your first route in 5 minutes walks the whole flow, with a ready-made example plan to practice on.
