Note from Scotts - Miracle Gro
"Just wanted to let you know that the mapping tool is working fantastic.  The documentation for PC*MILER|Mapping enabled me to write a Microsoft access program that plotted store deliveries based on user defined selections.  This tool will be a big help for Scotts to save on load consolidation opportunities. Great Product! Thanks!"
