The default city's selection is based on such factors as population and geographic centrality. If you know the county in which the duplicate city is located, you can enter that exact city in the stop entry field. Do so by entering the city and state names in a normal fashion, followed by a comma and the country name. Your entry must be in one of the following formats: hamlin, pa, wayne hamlin, pa, wayne hamlin, pa, wayne hamlin, pa, wayne You can also use the Spelling Helper from the route entry window to select the correct city based on its county shown in the pick list. By default, the town with a postal code will be entered when using the city/state entry. In Canada, duplicate city names are found in the same provinces. PC*MILER|Worldwide identifies the town by assigning a county or touristic region code to it. The code is listed after the province abbreviation in the same way that the county name follows the U. S. A complete list of these codes can be found in Appendix B and in the PC*MILER|Worldwide Help files. 3. 2. 12 Changing Regions To change to a different region, click Options in the route entry window, then make a selection in the Region pick list (General tab). You must have the proper region selected in the Options dialog box when you enter a location name. If the wrong region is selected, normally either an error message will appear or your input will be matched with a city by the same name in the selected region; for example, if you enter "Paris, FR" when your region is North America, "Paris, AR" will be returned as a stop. The currently selected region is always displayed in the title bar of the route entry window. However, with the addition of trans-regional routing to PC*MILER|Worldwide, in certain cases the above rule does not apply. Because routing between Europe, Asia, and Africa is now possible, locations can be entered that do not match the Chapter 3: Basic Routing 45 selected region when any of these regions are selected. For example, entering "Paris, FR" will return the correct stop if Asia or Africa is the selected region. 3. 2. 13 Using ISO Country Abbreviations Country abbreviations may be entered using either the FIPS 2-character, ISO 2character, or ISO 3-character format. If you wish to use ISO abbreviations, select Country Abbreviations in the Tools menu and check either ISO 2-Char or ISO 3-Char. An error message will appear if you try to enter a country abbreviation in a different format than the one selected in the Tools menu. 3. 3 Inserting and Deleting Stops Either choose Insert Stop from the Edit menu or press the <F7> key to insert a stop. The stop will be inserted above the one that is currently highlighted on the stop list. To delete a stop, highlight it on the list and choose Delete Stop from the Edit menu or press the <F8> key. [. . . ] Engineering surveys and other situations may find specific road segments unsuitable for STAA dimensioned vehicles. The PC*MILER database incorporates some of these exceptions, however, there are certainly other exceptions posted on the National Network. You may petition states for permission to travel beyond National Network and existing access routes. You may also petition to permanently add a specific access route in many states. 126 Appendix B: Canadian Counties & Touristic Regions Province Alberta Counties & Touristic Region (Contains no Touristic Regions or Counties) (Contains Tourism Regions) VANCOVER ISLAND VANCOVER COAST AND MOUNTAINS OKANAGAN/ SIMILKAMEEN KOOTENAY COUNTRY HIGH COUNTRY CARIBOO NORTH BY NORTHWEST PEACE RIVER/ ALASKA BC ROCKIES Manitoba (Contains no Touristic Regions or Counties) (Contains Counties) ALBERT CARLETON CHARLOTTE GLOUCESTER KENT KINGS MADAWASKA NORTHUMBERLAND QUEENS RESTIGOUCHE ST.
