Description
Sets the trip’s routing method when route type combinations are desired. This API is a more comprehensive alternative to PCMSSetCalcType.
PCMSSetCalcType treats Route Options in the PC*Miler user interface (such as State + National Network, Toll Discouraged, and POV) as separate, mutually exclusive route types. For example, if the 53-Foot Semitrailer profile—which includes the State + National Network option—is loaded first and then PCMSSetCalcType is called to set the route type to Shortest, State + National Network routing will be turned off.
Using PCMSSetCalcTypeEx, you can set the route type to Shortest and specify the continued use of the State + National Network.
