Hello,
According to the documentation, in the routing GUI, one can input a layer of point instead of entering them manually one by one : [ORS Tools Help · GIScience/orstools-qgis-plugin Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/GIScience/orstools-qgis-plugin/wiki/ORS-Tools-Help#gui)
I see the export button to save points to a layer, but no button to import them from a layer… how is that possible ?
Thank you

Hey,
for that, we do have the processing Algorithms - check the “Batch Jobs”-Tab for that.
Best regards

Oh ok, I discovered in one of this Batch Job buttons that you can tick the traveler salesman option, it’s not limited to the “non Batch Job” category.
Thank you !
