Rand McNally-TDM has made several enhancements to its MileMaker and
IntelliRoute software and IntelliRoute.com web site.

The new MileMaker software release includes updated ZIP code tables and IntelliRoute also has an updated Designated Network providing the most up-to-date information available to calculate routes. Also, the
itinerary will list violations for each road segment by user-selected truck type. Users can now import mileage and fuel calculations using industry standard HHG miles to any Excel spreadsheet cell, allowing consistent
representation of key information in reports and programs, and quick updates of the information.
The products now have the capability to receive updated data via the Internet, allowing more frequent updates. For those integrating MileMaker or IntelliRoute functionality into other applications,
the "indicators by route segment" functionality is now provided via the API.
These enhancements are available to existing Rand McNally-TDM customers, based on the terms of their standard software agreement.
Rand McNally-TDM's route management software supports a variety of business operating systems, including mainframes, AS/400s, Unix, and Windows.
Regardless of the computer platform utilized, HHG miles are included as one
of the routing options. The same transportation data is generated using
industry standard HHG rules. This commitment to consistency across platforms reduces the probability of disagreement between shippers and carriers in mileage calculations.
Over the next few months, Rand McNally-TDM plans to unveil a new suite of software products that are designed to meet the unique needs of independent professional drivers and small fleets (those running up to 25 trucks).
