To enter a city or town using the city/state format:
1. Select Postal Code in the stop type drop-down.
2. Type the city name and two-letter state/province/country abbreviation or fully spelled out state name in the City field, then click Add Stop or press the Enter key on your keyboard. The city and state/country do not need to be capitalized, but do need to be separated by either a comma or a space. The city name can be any length. If the city name contains two or three words, each portion of the city name must be separated by spaces.
Examples:
chicago, il
chicago il
chicago, illinois
paris,fr (PC*MILER Worldwide or DTOD Data users only)
los angeles, ca
salt lake city, ut
salt lake city, utah
belle croix,fr (PC*MILER Worldwide or DTOD Data users only)
3. PC*MILER will search through the database for a match to the location you entered. If there are multiple listings in the database for the same location, a scrollable pick list will open. Highlight your choice and click OK.
4. If your entry was valid, a stop list will open above the City field and the stop you entered will be displayed as the trip origin along with a time zone:
Turn Off the Pick List
If you want PC*MILER to pick a default match rather than open a pick list of multiple postal codes, select the File menu > Application Settings > Geocoding.
Spelling Help
Spelling help is available for city names. You can also look up state/country abbreviations.
Country Code Format
If PC*MILER Worldwide or DTOD Data is installed, country abbreviations outside North America may be entered using FIPS 2-character, ISO 2-character, ISO 3-character, GENC 2-character or GENC 3-character codes. To choose one of those formats for stop entry, select the File menu > Application Settings > Worldwide.
