PC*MILER|Worldwide Users

PC*MILER|Streets data modules are available for local street addresses in Canada, the United States, Europe, and some countries in Africa, Asia, Middle East, Oceania and South America. Each module may be purchased separately. The correct data set must be selected before you enter an address. When you activate a data set, the correct region will automatically be active in Application Settings. 

Note that Streets data sets in world regions outside North America may not include coverage for every country in the region. Therefore, when such a data set is selected, routes can’t be run within or across countries not included in the Streets data set. The Worldwide Highway data set must be used to run routes that enter countries not covered in the Streets data set.
