The custom setup enables slower systems to allocate a 15 Meg memory pool for the router subsystem. This will ensure that the MileMaker system will always have available memory when launching and ongoing throughout operation. Most RISC-based systems do not require this custom setup - thus the majority should accept the Default setup.

If the route seems inappropriate, contact our Technical Support department at 1-800-234-4069 and we will have our database department verify the answer.

We suggest if you have a LAN/WAN which requires mileage information that you purchase a MileMaker SP32 or IntelliRoute Deluxe suite that offers DLL, ActiveX and Java.

The whole database and mileage engine has a small footprint. We recommend approximately 460 Megabytes of DASD. Data queues and temporary files may increase this requirement depending on use.

Yes. ICC has developed a module that will call our interface for tariff miles and payroll operations.

There is an API program routine for both HHG mileages as well as Practical Routes. For mileage request, your third party application will need to call MI110I and pass the appropriate data structure with your origin and destination cities. Practical routes will require you to call MI335I. For complete details, please refer to your On-Demand AS/400 Technical Guide. Both RPG and COBOL record layouts are available.

No. This version of MileMaker does not allow geocoding of custom points to the system.

Normally, this message appears when the system is out of transactions or when it had reached the end of its billing cycle (expired). From the MileMaker main menu (program MI001) select the Billing/Transaction Update choice and choose Transaction Usage Report. If you are out of transactions, please contact 1-800-234-4069 and select “Billing.”

We have retained all interface programs commonly used in Guide 18 to be supported in Guide 19. Any parameters passed to such programs will also be the same as they were before Guide 19. It is important to remember to add the GDE19OND to your library list or Job Description in order to call the newer editions of these interfaces. If you have questions regarding how these interface routines operate, please contact Technical Support.

The major portion of the upgrade is a comprehensive highway data update. This essentially is a complete review of all the truck usable road network which MileMaker calculates routes. Updates to road restrictions, interstate systems, and other routes which commercial travel is allowed. The effect of such changes may shorten or lengthen certain routes in some areas of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. New geographic points (such as additional cities or locations) have also been included in the update.

From a command line, issue the command WRKACTJOB and look for a job named MMAKERSBS with a child job of MMROUTER. If you do not see this job, call program CLMI000 to run the subsystem start up menu.

If you choose to retain/backup Guide 18 during installation, you will need an additional 200 Megabytes of DASD on your system. This new install will be placed into GDE19OND, and the previous library will stay GDE18OND.

During the restore and install of Guide 19, the setup program will read and process all avoided and preferred records from your previous installation. Because of changes in the highway network from Guide 18 to Guide 19, not all records may be able to be converted. A message will appear on your screen notifying you if this is an issue, and will allow you to view those unconverted segments.

The LODRUN program that runs and upgrades MileMaker from Guide 18 to Guide 19 will covert all custom points to be usable for Guide 19 calculations. All user settings will be also saved and brought over to the newer version. If there are any issues with the upgrade the installer will give you an error notification.

From a command line on the AS/400, type the command WRKACTJOB. This will list running jobs and tasks that are currently running on the system. Using your page up or down to locate the Subsytem/Job named MMAKERSBSD. Once this is located, arrow key to the far Left cursor field on the same line as MMAKERSBSD. Type option 5 in this field, and hit Enter. This will bring you to a “Work with Job” menu list where you should select number 10 from the list. Once this is done, it will show the job log text which indicates when the MMAKERSBSD…

Screen brightness, volume, and track recording can deplete the battery. Keep these settings low or turn off track recording to save battery. You can also set the navigation to beep output in “Settings > Navigation Settings > Set guidance preference.” Or, quick press the power button and choose “Screen off” to continue navigation and track recording but turn off the screen. Simply tap the screen to return. Batteries are very sensitive to temperature, so it's best to keep them out of the cold. Much like humans, they run best at around 70°F. No matter what kind of batteries you use,…

Yes, you may write a Microsoft .NET or C# application to call either a DLL or our ActiveX control. If you wish to use the application in a web environment (ASP.NET) you will need to develop a wrapper to call functions from our API and then deliver the mileage data back to your webform.

Will I need to update both the server and the client when Guide 19 arrives? Yes, you will receive two separate kits. One set will upgrade the Windows Express Server, the other will be a distribution for the client type you are licensed. For example, if you have UNIX client that communicates to the Express Server, you will receive a CD that contains updated UNIX files and an enhanced Guide 19 API.

First go to the VIEW menu, and select Map/Itinerary, which will allow you to select whichever you would like to display. You may either display just the map, or a split of the itinerary and the map on your screen.

Smart City browse is an advanced fuzzy logic for validating cities that a user enters. The smart city enables users to either type a city or verify a state abbreviation. When the Smart City if turned off, a user will have to enter a two letter state abbreviation to validate that the city is in the system.

Practical Routing Maps will now be available with the release of Guide 19. Based on important customer feedback, this feature is now a part of the base product.

Yes, you can import custom locations. If you go to the FEATURES menu, select “Import Locations.” From here you can click “New” to manually add a point with a name and Latitude and Longitude coordinates. The other option is “Import” which will allow you to read from a comma delimited file with your data records spelled out. Once points are in the system, they may be used for Quickest and Lowest Cost Route Calculation.

An easy way to select SMB is to go to the ROUTES menu. Then select HHG Full Route with SMB or Practical Route with SMB. This will then display the city entry dialogue box where the “with SMB” radial button will be selected. Once the route is calculated, State Mileage for each state traveled will be at the lower left of the itinerary screen.

To turn off the additional sheets, go to the FILE menu, select Print, and then uncheck Route Summary Page and Overview Map page. You may also click the drop down menu to the left of these checkboxes to specify what will print.
