We don't have a tool that works very well for the problem you're trying
to solve.

What I do is use the radius filter to get areas I want to hit (yes, I
have to manually tweak circle size) then convert those to routes and let
S&T or the Route Optimizer in the Streepilot order them appropriately.

Given how sluggish the units get with that many points in a route and
how goofy they get if you veer off that route for lunch or a road
closure, I've had limited success with the technique you're describing
anyway.
