Customize Place Names

PC MILER allows you to customize place names to match the names of your facilities and\or customer locations. Let’s add a custom place to the stop list for Route 1:

  1. Select Manage Custom Places… from the Tools menu to access the Custom Place Manager.

  2. To enter a custom place, place your cursor in the Custom Name field and type “HQ” (for Headquarters).

  3. Type “jacksonville, fl” in the Location field and click Add. (A ZIP code or latitude\longitude point would also be accepted in the Location field.)

  4. If a pick list opens, highlight one of the ZIP codes on the list and click OK. (The Tools menu > Multiple Name Instances setting determines if a pick list will appear.) “HQ” will be added to the list of custom places.

  5. Click OK to close the Custom Place Manager and save your custom place to the PC MILER database.

  6. Now, in the Route 1 window, click under the last stop, type “hq”, and press <Enter> to add it as a stop. It will appear on the list with an asterisk to show that it’s a custom place.

  7. To calculate the new route, click Run.
