Routing and tracking options can also be set when you log on to the PC*MILER|Mobile web site –
see the PC*MILER|Mobile Web Site section in this User Guide.
Available Route Guidance options are:
•
Practical: Practical routes represent routing a driver would normally take to minimize time
and cost. Practical routing models the trade-off between taking the most direct path and
staying on major, high quality highways. Interstate highways are given a higher priority than
toll roads, which in turn are given a higher priority than secondary highways, and so on.
Practical routings consider distance, road quality, terrain, urban/rural classifications, truck-
restricted roads, and designated principal and secondary through routes.
•
Shortest: PC*MILER Shortest Routes represent distances and driving routes that a vehicle
would take to minimize total distance traveled while still following a reasonable route. For
instance, Shortest Route mileages and routes will also avoid truck-restricted roads and, in
some cases, may favor a beltway rather than traveling directly through a city.
•
National Network: The National Network is a government-designated system of highways
originally established by the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 and updated in
1992. PC*MILER National Network routing represents distances and driving routes which
are most reasonable and legal for the larger trucks authorized by the Surface Transportation
Assistance Act of 1982. This routing stays on the National Network to the maximum extent
possible.
•
53 Foot Trailer: Calculations for these routes are based on National Network routing, with
the addition of roads that permit 53' trailers.
•
Toll-Discouraged: These routes will avoid long stretches of toll roads but will not take long,
impractical detours to avoid toll bridges and tunnels.
•
Hazardous Material: Hazmat routes are constrained by US federal, state, and local
hazardous materials restrictions.

This section covers the screens you see when you
highlight Change Options and press the button under
SELECT.
This feature allows you to change the default settings
on preparing a route. For example, you can change
the settings so PC*MILER|Mobile calculates routes
for 53 Foot Trailer for instance. You also can set the
parameters for automatic rerouting when you have left
the planned route, as well as other settings.
