Excellent Tool for Calculating and Estimating Route Mileage

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: We use PC*MILER on a daily basis to calculate and estimate route mileage in a strategic modeling tool that we utilize for our network. PC*MILER saves us literally hours of time and I don't think our strategic modeling tool would be nearly as effective without it.

Pros:

What I like most about PC*MILER is that it can be integrated into Microsoft Excel, which makes it easy to calculate and estimate route distances for large amounts of data.

Cons:

There's not much to dislike about the PC*MILER since it does everything I need it to do, but my only complaint might be that it was a little difficult to install the Excel add-in. However, once it was installed and up and running there have been no issues.

Good; but....

4.0 6 years ago

Comments: Decent program. The thing that keeps us coming back is the ability to save routes that we use weekly and not have to continuously run them over and over again and it also saves the pricing per mile. If it weren’t for that, we might just use Google maps to do the same thing for free.

Pros:

Pretty easy to use. Moving the routes around is fairly easy. Plugging in stops on a route is very simple and then it will order then for you. If you need to change the order, it’s simple to do.

Cons:

Customizing pricing and routes can get a little confusing. It’s not impossible or even infuriating. Just not as simple as you may like it to be.

Pros:

This product is better than google maps at giving truck routes and route miles in planning truck routes.

The only issue that I have had with PC Miler is that it crashes occasionally.

Great Program

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: I could not put a value on this program.
That is how pivotal this program is to my life on a daily basis.

Pros:

If you work in the trucking industry this is a must have tool. You can work out the mileage on a 10 stop load if you needed. It gives you the miles and toll totals.

Cons:

It's only because it is a part of our internal system, but the program times out after about 2 hours.
