PC*MILER|Connect offers transportation professionals and software developers access to PC*MILER features from other applications. Client applications are able to retrieve PC*MILER distances, driving times, state-by-state mileage breakdowns, and detailed driving instructions.

PC*MILER|Connect allows easy integration of PC*MILER distances into popular software, such as Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel, and custom applications built with various software development environments, such as Visual Basic, Microsoft Visual C++, Delphi, C++ Builder, etc. In addition to a COM Interface, also included is a Java Native Interface (JNI) layer to simplify the integration with Java-based software applications. The interface provides the ability to generate reports in HTML format and gives you the ability to build dynamic web sites for use in any browser environments. (If you're looking for an XML/SOAP interface, see PC*MILER Web Services.)

To serve as an example of the type of information that the PC*MILER|Connect Server Engine provides, users usually start their interface with a simple distance calculation, e.g. calculating the miles between Chicago, IL and New York, NY. There are three functions that calculate the distance between two places:

  • PCMSCalcDistance(): returns the distance between an origin (orig) and destination (dest) by calculating the route using the default routing type.
    long PCMSCalcDistance (PCMServerID serv,
    const char FAR *orig, const char FAR *dest);
  • PCMSCalcDistance2(): returns the distance between an origin (orig) and destination (dest) by calculating the route using the given routing type (routeType).
    long PCMSCalcDistance2 (PCMServerID serv,
    const char FAR *orig, const char FAR *dest,
    int routeType);
  • PCMSCalcDistance3(): returns the distance and time between an origin (orig) and destination (dest) by calculating the route using the given routing type (routeType).
    long PCMSCalcDistance3 (PCMServerID serv,
    const char FAR *orig, const char FAR *dest,
    int routeType, long *minutes);
