PC*Miler 40 Version Release

Highlights of PC*Miler 40 (PCM40), the 40th annual version release include:

  • IMPROVED With each new version, PC*Miler’s routing algorithm is enhanced to generate the best routes and the most accurate travel times and distances for your vehicles. Improvements since version 39 include:

    • Traffic Closures Integration: Improved road closure handling by integrating a live traffic incident feed, which provides accurate start and end times. Users now get real-time impact assessments for closures that may expire during their trip when using “depart now” planning.
    • Increased HOS Stop Limit: Raised the total stop limit for trips that incorporate Hours of Service information to 255, providing greater flexibility in route planning.
    • Site Routing Improvements: Fixed technical bugs in site routing, resulting in improved performance and more accurate handling of site paths, gate usage, and boundary restrictions.
    • Improved Routing Consistency: Enhanced route path creation logic to provide greater consistency and eliminate scenarios where unexpected routing could occur due to underlying data constraints.
    • Ramp/Highway On-Off: Enhanced highway on/off logic to avoid situations where trucks are routed off and back on to the same highway.
    • Estimated travel time (ETT): Enhancements that were introduced to PC*Miler’s Current data version in July 2025 are now included in PCM40. You can review the details of these enhancements in our ETT FAQ.


  • IMPROVED Map data updates: Version 40 includes all of the road map data updates in North America starting at Q2.1 2025 and ending with Q2 2026. Some highlights include:

    • Over 310 new construction road projects were added.
    • More than 60,690 new POIs were added to the Places Database, officially surpassing 6 million locations in the Places library.
    • 57,067 new site locations were coded, including distribution centers, retail storefronts, manufacturing plants, and truck stops and service centers.
    • More than 1,660 miles of new highway-level network was added in the United States.
    • Truck through-travel restrictions were updated in over 125 city limits and outlying regions.
    • More than 27,688 customer-reported issues were reviewed and fixed.

For more details, please see our North America map data release notes.

  • IMPROVED Toll enhancements and route costs:
    • Added the A-Pass toll discount program for the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit, Michigan and Ontario, Canada.
    • Route costs and currency conversion rates have been updated for PC*Miler 40. See rates used for PCM 40.

July 9, 2026

  • NEW The Freight Rail API was enhanced to include:

    • A new AutoRouter endpoint that generates one or more rail route options between an origin and destination—often spanning multiple railroad networks—by automatically selecting viable carrier legs and interchange junctions. (Similar to the AutoRouter feature in the on-prem version of PC*Miler Rail.)
    • A new JunctionRailRoad report, which summarizes the route by junction/interchange sequence.


  • IMPROVED In Account Manager, fleet managers can select preferred fuel vendors that will be prioritized when CoPilot searches for Fuel Station stops along a route. The Places API’s PUT /place/{placeId} endpoint has been updated to accept a restrictedFuelLocation flag (true/false) to mark specific locations within those preferred vendors as “not approved.” The restrictedFuelLocation setting can also be retrieved with a Place’s other information using endpoints such as /place/{placeId}/details.

June 24, 2026

  • IMPROVED Updated map data in North America, South America, Africa, and Middle East.

June 22, 2026

  • NEW The Places API now includes a GET /filter endpoint that lets you find locations by combining search criteria including:

    • Geographic filters: Specify a location (point) with a search radius, a specific country, or both.
    • Business filters: Narrow results by brand name (such as “TRAVIS” or “PILOT”), category (such as “Truck Stop” or “Gas Station”), or both.

    Use this endpoint to efficiently locate facilities that match your operational needs.

June 17, 2026

  • IMPROVED Added a new parameter, MaxAirTravelDistanceFromOriginalPing, to Derived Route Reports. MaxAirTravelDistanceFromOriginalPing sets a maximum allowed straight-line (“as-the-crow-flies” / great-circle) distance between each GPS ping you submit and the point on the road network that the Derived Route service snaps it to. It lets you set a tolerance so low-confidence snaps are handled predictably instead of skewing your results.

June 3, 2026

  • NEW The Places API now integrates real-time parking data from Travis Truck Parking, Europe’s largest truck parking network, including availability, price, and reservation URLs. Data is returned via the /details and /details/bulk endpoints in the parkingInformation object under parkingAvailability, reservationInformation and reservationPrices.

May 28, 2026

May 12, 2026

  • NEW The Places API now integrates real-time parking data from Truck Parking Club (TPC), including parking availability and URLs where drivers can reserve parking spots at TPC locations across the U.S. Parking information and reservation URLs are returned via the /details and /details/bulk endpoints in the parkingInformation object’s availableTruckParkingSpaces and reservationUrl fields. The reservation URL is also exposed via the book parking button in the CoPilot navigation app.

  • IMPROVED Updated toll data in Europe.

  • FIXED Fixed incorrect toll costs in Maine for versions PCM38 and PCM39.

April 30, 2026

  • IMPROVED Updated map data in Europe.

April 15, 2026

April 13, 2026

  • IMPROVED Custom road speeds can now be used to calculate travel times in Route Path requests. For GET requests, set custRdSpeeds to true. In POST requests, set UseCustomRoadSpeeds to true in the ReportingOptions object. Learn how to set custom road speeds for your account.

April 2, 2026

  • IMPROVED Updated map data in Africa.

March 31, 2026

  • FIXED Fixed an issue with the Speed Limit Report when not using default speeds.

  • IMPROVED Improved error messaging in Route Path and Route Report responses to provide better clarity regarding bad requests when attempting to use v34 or lower.

  • FIXED Fixed an issue where stop duration was not listed in the Mileage Report response with HOS enabled.

  • IMPROVED Several improvements were made to the routing algorithm, including:

    • Optimization of site consolidation process, improving response time when making route requests with sites enabled.
    • Improved isochrone polygon accuracy with addition of a concave hull algorithm.

March 19, 2026

  • FIXED Fixed an issue where speed limits were not consistently returned in the Speed Limit report response.

March 12, 2026

March 5, 2026

March 2, 2026

  • FIXED Fixed an error with toll cost calculations on the Maine Turnpike (I-95) in the PCM38 and PCM39 versions.

Feb. 26, 2026

  • NEW The Account Manager APIs now support the creation and management of CoPilot’s Map Sets, enhancing automation for partners in setting up and maintaining their CoPilot customers.

  • FIXED Resolved a caching issue that incorrectly treated valid routing profile names in Route Report requests as invalid, resulting in 400 errors.

Feb. 20, 2026

  • IMPROVED Updated toll data for PC*Miler versions 38 & 39.
  • FIXED The Route Reports API now returns only valid mileage reports corresponding to requested routes, eliminating empty or placeholder entries.

Feb. 11, 2026

Feb. 9, 2026

  • IMPROVED The Route Reports API has been updated to reduce latency and process more requests at once. Instead of processing routes one by one (e.g., Route 1, then Route 2, then Route 3), the system now initiates processing for all routes in a single request at the same time.

  • IMPROVED Several improvements were made to the routing algorithm, including changes to:

    • Eliminate most through travel on dirt roads.
    • Avoid unnecessary through travel on other local or sublocal roads.
    • Avoid routing on and off the same highway.
