Add STops from a Spreadsheet

Pro subscribers have access to our spreadsheet upload tool, which allows you to bulk-upload Stops with an Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet. We ask users to follow our upload template guidelines to promote accuracy.

Upload Step by Step Guide:

1. Download & Prepare your Upload Template

Find the upload template here and fill it out as instructed. Do not modify the first row of the sheet. For a complete list of template guidelines, see the section below.

2. Upload your Template through the Pro site

Access the Pro site at this link.

If you run into issues, check out our troubleshooting guide below, or reach our team at support@roadwarrior.app for assistance.

3. Check your mobile device for your Uploaded Route

If you have app notifications enabled, you will get a notification indicating successful upload.

Upload Template Guidelines:

Do not modify the header row (row 1)--this row gives important information to our system that helps categorize the data.

Required Columns:

In general, the required columns have a green header; the rest are supplementary. Required columns, along with any notes, are listed below:

Name - identifier for the address. Most commonly, this will be the resident/point of contact at your Stop
Building/House Number - numerical part of street address
Street Name - street part of street address
City*
State/Region*
Postal*
Country - see list of country codes on the second sheet of the Excel template

*If you add the city and state, you do not need a postal code; if you add a postal code, you do not need the city/state information.

Optional Columns:

Color - the color of the Stop or Favorite pin when uploaded. When left blank, the addresses will upload to your account’s default colors. See list of colors on the second sheet of the Excel template
Phone - phone number for your contact
Note - any pertinent information you would like to add to your Route. If you use hashtag filtering, this is the place to include those hashtags.
Latitude & Longitude - you can use coordinate values, instead of addresses, to define your Stops. Any values here will override the address.
- When filling out this column, opt for decimal degrees (ex. 40.0150, -105.2705) rather than degrees, minutes, and seconds (ex. 40 0 54 N, 105 16 14 W)
Stopover/Visit Time - the number of time in minutes you expect to spend at each Stop. This will be calculated into your total Route travel time.

Upload Troubleshooting

If you attempt an upload and it doesn’t go through, make sure you read the text in the pop-up, which will provide details on what needs to be adjusted for a successful upload!

Here are a few troubleshooting tips for the most common issues if you get stuck:

Header Error - make sure your header row is unmodified from the original template
- Even if you leave a column blank, you should not delete the full column
Geocoding Error - take a look at the row # if a geocoding error appears, and locate the site on your spreadsheet
- Make sure the address is typed correctly by comparing the address to Google Maps
File Type Incompatible - RoadWarrior is only compatible with .xlsx documents at this time
- Convert any .xls or .csv files to .xlsx, with the proper header rows, before uploading
