PC*MILER Routing Types
PC*MILER Routing Types
Toll Roads
If Avoid If Possible is checked, PC*MILER Navigator will avoid
long stretches of toll roads but won’t take long, impractical detours,
to avoid toll bridges and tunnels. Example: a trip from Boston, MA
to Albany, NY avoids the Massachusetts Turnpike, but a trip from
Camden, NJ to Philadelphia, PA includes a toll bridge.
International Borders Open
If this option is checked, the calculated trip will ignore international
boundaries (Canada and Mexico) when necessary to generate the
best route. If this option is not check the calculated trip will never
cross international boundraries. For example, if all your stops are
in the United States, the route will stay in the U.S. even though the
most practical or shortest route would involve some Canadian mile-
age.
Hazmat Routing
PC*MILER Navigator calculates routes for hazardous materials
based on over thirty different road categories. Hazmat route options
include: General, Caustic, Explosives, Flammable,
Inhalants, and Radioactive. To calculate normal (non-hazmat)
PC*MILER routes, select None. The table in Appendix B on the next
two pages shows how each PC*MILER hazmat route type handles
each hazmat road category.
