Hmm not sure what this is called but an app or website perhaps.

I am looking to basically choose a sitting, pin point a ton of attractions/sights/addresses and I would like the app to show me the optimal route to see them so I don't back track. Any suggestions? Not even sure how I would google this.

I often make a Google Maps list of all the places I want to check out on a trip (I have a bunch of different lists of saved places), then I zoom out and figure out the path based on where the pins mostly fall. I used to do this with a physical map (back in the day) and just carry it around with me. I don't know if there are any apps to optimize your route, but I like to plot it out myself anyway. Once I can see the points of interest plotted out, I find it's easy to stake out a path. YMMV, I like to wander and give myself time to take an unexpected turn if something comes up, so having an app tell me the optimal path isn't what I am looking for when I travel.
