Important Changes for Version 17, Please Read
For Version 17,
PC*MILER now offers two basic route types, Practical
and Shortest, that may be combined with one or more of the other three
route types that PC*MILER users are familiar with (Toll Discouraged and
National Network or 53’ Trailer Routing). Users of the PC*MILER
interactive program who want to obtain Toll Discouraged, National
Network, or 53’ Trailer routing will additionally have to specify either the
Practical or Shortest Route type. (Previous to Version 17, all Toll
Discouraged, National Network, or 53’ Trailer routes were based on the
Practical route type.)
This new functionality gives you the option to run 12 diferent route types:
• Practical
• Shortest
• Practical/Toll Discouraged
• Shortest/Toll Discouraged
• Practical//National Network
• Shortest /National Network
• Practical /53 Foot Trailer
• Shortest /53 Foot Trailer
• Practical/Toll Discouraged/National Network
• Shortest/Toll Discouraged/National Network
• Practical/Toll Discouraged/53’ Trailer
• Shortest/Toll Discouraged/53’ Trailer
Note that National Network and 53’ Trailer Routing cannot be combined,
they are mutually exclusive.

software will have to be modified to utilize the new functionality. Without
modifications to your third party or in-house software, you will have only
the following routing types available:
