Default Itinerary Planner

Anyone know of a good itinerary planner (other than Google maps)? Google maps does not want to seem to save a route that I have planned for recall at a later point. In addition, I have more than 20 destinations to go to, and Google does not like handling that many.

Ideally I would like to upload postcodes to a planner in csv format and it can then tell me the best driving route to get to them all. I tend to drive from my tomtom on my iphone, as I prefer that to a dedicated SatNav (the phone comes with me at my destination, so not leaving a lumpy satnav in the car).

Crumbs, I thought this would be an easy question...

There must be something out there that does this. With all the delivery firms etc they must be using something that does this (although I don't have their budget!!)

Thanks for the advice, but....no that is not what I am after. The tripit thing is more about going on vacation than planning driving routes.

Maybe I am asking for the wrong thing. I'm not planning on going on holiday needing to collate hotel bookings and flight information. I am trying to plan the most efficient route to visit at the moment 50 different destinations.

At the moment I am dropping those destinations into google maps, adding each destination one at a time, then manually dragging them around the route planning section to get the most efficient route.

Once I am done there is no option to save what I have done to recall in the future, which is a bit of a pain.
