How to Use Places Autocomplete in Zeo Route Planner

Updated on: May 29, 2025

Manually typing a delivery address in the address bar can cause errors and slow the process. That’s why Zeo Route Planner has a built-in address autocomplete feature so that you can type the location initials and quickly find the address from the list.

Zeo Route Planner’s Places Autocomplete feature is powered by Google Maps and is designed to work right out of the box. There is no need to run the setup or write scripts to build accurate and smart addresses into the workflow.
Time to find out more.

How to Using Places Autocomplete Feature

At Zeo, we use the same technology that powers address search in Google Maps for the address autocomplete feature.

The end result is that users get accurate, location-verified suggestions as they type, streamlining the process of adding stops to their routes quickly and efficiently. This spares you from manually entering the full addresses or stressing about errors.

To use the Places Autocomplete feature in Zeo Route Planner:

• Begin by typing the location or address in the stop entry field within the app or web dashboard.
• Enter address text to let Zeo display suggested address matches based on what’s most relevant to your input.
• Choose the address based on locations, neighborhoods, and pin codes in the address bar scroller.

You can use it for:

• Adding new stops by simply typing the initial address. Then, choose the correct option from the list of suggestions.
• Avoiding manual address entry errors so that all locations are valid and correctly formatted.
• Speeding up route planning by reducing the time spent on address searches.
• Saving frequently visited addresses with custom nicknames for faster access.
