PC*Miler BatchPro

The BatchPro module works as follows: the name of your input file is passed as a parameter to BatchPro. BatchPro produces an output file with the same name and a different extension. After BatchPro has finished processing the input file, it closes and control returns to the calling program.

Recent enhancements include support for Mexican postal codes, routing to custom places, editable speed limits by state, support for Canadian postal codes and SPLC, county information instead of FIPS codes, routing in Bermuda, Greenland, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, ferry miles in the .TOT Report, changes to city name formatting, support for long place names, changes to Mexican place name format, changes to duplicate city delineation, and major revisions to the .RTR (turn-by-turn driving instructions) report.

A comma or space between the city name and the state or province abbreviation is now mandatory. For Mexican cities, use the city name and Estado. Each entry must have a space or comma before the state abbreviation to avoid getting an error message. The length of the stops you pass affects the match rate against the PC*MILER cities file, and controls the length of cities returned by Batchpro in the .STA and .OUT reports.
