New Features & Enhancements

We've introduced several new capabilities and improvements to enhance your workflow:

Suite-Wide Enhancements

  • Ultra-Fast Distance Calculations: Access the fastest possible distance file generation with PC*Miler’s Ultra Fast Distance Matrix paid add-on.
  • Share Your Ideas: Submit suggestions and vote on features important to you with the convenient link to our Aha! Idea Portal.

DirectRoute & TransportationModeler (TM)

  • Apply Toll Discounts: Use the Get Directions feature to apply All or Nothing toll discounts and view costs aligned with corporate discounts. 
  • Integrate ResourcePro Schedules: Apply Route dispatch days and start times, created in ResourcePro, directly to your DirectRoute (.ROUTE) or T-Mod (.SSLN) project files seamlessly. This allows non-RP licensed users to open the project files and view the same RP results previously created.
  • Customizable Route Books: Enjoy greater flexibility with the Route Book by pulling in any and all data headers from your Truck File.
  • Visualize Boundaries While Routing: Open a drawing file (.DRW) while in routing mode to overlay your boundary map on top of your project solution, providing better visual context.

DirectRoute

  • Enhanced DRTrack Integration: Upload Master Routes to DRTrack and automatically include the Vehicle Routing Profile used for that solution, and pass it to the DRTrack database.

TransportationModeler (TM)

  • TM Now Standalone: Operate TransportationModeler as a fully stand-alone application, no longer requiring a DirectRoute license for its core functionality.
  • Flexible Licensing Options: License the TM functions for Rating, Mode Selection, and TourPro independently of each other to better suit your specific needs.


Important Fixes

We've addressed several issues to improve stability and usability:

Suite-Wide Fixes

  • Updated Find Polygons Tool: Updated the links for State and County codes required by the Find Polygons tool (Maps > Tools > Find Polygons) for accuracy.
  • Save Icon Modifications Correctly: Resolved the issue preventing Stop and Truck icon size modifications from saving.
  • 'Avoid Tolls' Preference Saved:  Corrected the Avoid Tolls default setting (File > Preferences > Trimble Maps > Avoid Tolls) to save properly.

DirectRoute & TransportationModeler (TM)

  • Accurate 'View Reason' Information: The View Reason utility now correctly displays information based in the provided distance file, after running Get Directions.

DirectRoute

  • Relay by Destination Logic Improved: Updated the Relay by Destination feature to prevent unavailable trucks from being used for relays.
  • Static Splitting Functionality: Resolved an issue with Static Splitting not working as expected.
  • Route Book "TWGraph" Display: Corrected an issue with the TWGraph field in the Route Book displaying red or violating stop colors without cause.

  • Route Book Segment Inclusion: The Route Book now correctly includes the miles for the Route segment from the terminal to the first stop after using the Get Directions utility.
  • XML Export Dispatch Time: Updated the XML export to no longer include seconds in the Dispatch Time field, ensuring correct formatting.

SchedulePro

  • Unassigned Stops Visibility: Fixed an issue preventing users from seeing the Unassigned Stops detail in the footer of the SchedulePro user interface.

TransportationModeler (TM)

  • Tooltip ID Display: Fixed an issue causing duplicate ID1 values to display in the tooltip hover-over.
  • Map Display of Unloaded Stops: Corrected an issue where unloaded stops were not displaying as red on the map.
  • Geocoding Stability: Resolved a bug that could cause an "Unhandled Exception" when clicking the 'View Map' button during geocoding.
