PC*MILER Connect includes functions that allow you to determine a particular location’s proximity to a planned route. The information can be used for planning and optimization of routes, such as finding places for a driver to refuel or rest. It can also be used as a quick check of how far a vehicle is off the planned route.

• PCMSCalcDistToRoute determines the air distance between a given location and the nearest point on the route.
