Entering Mexican and Canadian Locations

Mexican locations can be entered using a postal code, or a city name plus a two-letter abbreviation.

Examples:

puerto vallarta, ja

99250

Some Mexican and U.S. locations have the same postal code assigned to them. The way PC*Miler handles Mexican versus U.S. postal codes in these cases can be set in the File menu > Application Settings > Geocoding.

Canadian postal codescan be entered only if the separate PC*Miler Canadian Postal Codes add-on data module is installed.

If the Canadian Postal Codes module is not installed, Canadian place names can be entered using the city name and province abbreviation.

Examples:

montreal, qc

ottawa on

“NL” is recognized as Newfoundland and Labrador unless this setting has been changed to mean Nuevo Leon using in File menu > Application Settings > Geocoding.

To enter a location name that includes one or more accented letters (for example, Felipe Ángeles, CI), either 1) use the postal code, or 2) use the Insert > Symbol option in Microsoft® Word or Excel® to type the location name and then copy and paste into the route window in PC*Miler.
