Hi G2, I've been weighing whether Badger Maps is worth it for route-focused reps planning daily territory coverage in the Field Sales category, and it tends to be, because route optimization is exactly what it is built for.
Reviewers describe lassoing accounts into a stop list, getting the most efficient drive, and fitting more calls into the same day, with visits logged against the account and synced to the CRM so there is no separate admin step. The outside-rep voice is clear throughout; it is designed for someone living in the car, not for a manager's dashboard.
The trade-offs are real ones: it is lighter on door-to-door canvassing than a turf tool, and reps mention occasional data-sync limits. For route-focused reps here, has Badger Maps paid for itself in drive time saved, and where did it fall short for you?

Two reps could each have a perfectly optimized day and still be unknowingly covering overlapping accounts, or one could be driving twice the miles of another for the same call volume, since each route gets optimized in isolation rather than against a shared territory plan. A tool built entirely around the rep in the car, not the manager's dashboard, is honest about what it's for, but it also means individual-day efficiency and territory-level efficiency can genuinely diverge even when every single rep's route looks great on its own. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 5 days ago - Author title: Tech Consultant ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 4
