(PC*MILER|Streets required) A Site extends a location to include a boundary polygon around its perimeter, entry and exit points (gates), and other valuable information. For example, a Site can be a warehouse, a shopping mall, a distribution center, a yard, a business park, etc. 

Routing to a Site can provide more accurate directions and time and distance estimates by taking a driver directly to the proper entry and exit points, rather just an address or a latitude/longitude point. 

Enabling Sites Routing

If you want to route to a road within a Site, you must first enable street-level routing using one of these two methods: 

• In the pcmserve.ini file, under the [Options] section, set UseStreets=True 
• Use PCMSSetRouteLevel to set street-level routing

Disabling Sites Routing 

With streets routing enabled, Sites routing is turned on by default.  If you would like to disabled Sites routing—for example, if you are only using PC*MILER|Connect for rating—it can be turned off using a setting in the pcmserve.ini file. 

• Under the [Options] section, set UseSites=False

NOTE: UseSites is set to False by default if you are not licensed for PC*MILER|Streets.
