3.7 Non-U.S. Countries and European Postal Codes
(For PC*MILER|Worldwide users) With PC*MILER|Worldwide data installed
and the correct region specified (see above), you may specify a country outside
the United States using its FIPS two-letter abbreviation (for example, ‘Paris, FR’)
or a postal code (for example, ‘46001 sp’). For a list of state and country
abbreviations by region, please see Appendix B.
When you are using European postal codes as stops, you need to enter a
country abbreviation to avoid being routed to the wrong country in cases
where the same postal code exists in more than one country. Enter the postal
code, a comma or space, and the correct two-letter country abbreviation; e.g.
“46001 sp” or “46001,sp” for Valencia, Spain.
Canadian and Mexican locations are specified using a province or estado
abbreviation after the city name.
NOTE: Postal codes are accessible in other regions, though not all
states/countries within that region have data available in PC*MILER.
