7.2 Request and Response Field Parameters
The following sections specify the field parameters for the request types
defined in section 7.1 and the responses to each request type.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When using PC*MILER|Streets, the best matching
for address location lookups can be accomplished using the guidelines
stated below. These rules apply to batch or interactive integration. It is
recommended that a validation (VA) request always precede each
mileage request, especially where street addresses are included, in
order to avoid misleading or incomplete output.
• When you input a street address, use a city and state abbreviation
whenever possible.
Example: Princeton, NJ;1000 Herrontown Road – The comma
between the city and state is optional. The semicolon between the
state abbreviation and the street address is required.
