I add multiple destinations once time, every stations I will stop by actually near by 3_4 jumps, however it shows on the Auto Route line are more than 7 jumps between each station（there's no issue about skip lower Sec） , it is just so stupid! If I just follow the auto route that will spend at least twice time to get there. I have to set only one destination every time make efficiently.

I don't know if Ccp Dev could see this, isn't it should be much smarter? It's time to get this small thing better...

Your autopilot has various settings that allow you to customize what kind of route you want it to generate. The default settings are set to safer, so for example, if your destination is a low-sec system, and there are two possible ways to get there, the 'safer' setting will pick a longer route that has less lowsec jumps over a shorter route.

If you're having trouble with multiple destinations and wasted jumps, there is the feature to optimize waypoints, but that can take quite awhile for longer routes. There is a lot of math involved.

Did it occur to you that you may be using it incorrectly? I somehow doubt the game is broken as I use the maps all the time. Perhaps instead of saying it is "stupid" you might confirm your settings are correct.

Do you have a lot of blocked systems on your list? I know one thing that a a lot of new pilots don't catch is that JITA is blocked by default when you load the game. This single system being blocked is an example of a way that there is a longer route created for 'no known reason'. I personally have about a dozen systems blocked on my list just to stay off the 'beaten path' between the trade hubs which means a few extra jumps in my routes.

If you could give an example I am sure many of us would be willing to see if we get the same results. Obviously trade routes can be considered a secret so you may not want to share.

Why is Jitta blocked by default?

I'd guess its because of the very high player numbers in there. Jita sometimes has a cap on the numbers.

Jita local is also the largest cesspit in Eve.

Both are true statements.
