Info

Decimal degrees format: In decimal degrees format, latitude and longitude are strings of up to 8 characters representing a decimal number with up to 3 decimal places. No leading zeros are required. The decimal point counts as one of the characters. Latitude and longitude must be separated by a comma WITHOUT A SPACE. In general the format for a point is: dddd.dddN,dddd.dddW. Converting between formats: To convert from degrees-minutes-seconds to decimal degrees use the following formula: dddmmssN � ddd + mm/60 + ss/3600 . Examples: Here is an example of an actual lat/long near Kendall Park, NJ in both formats: 040<strong>25</strong>15N,0743340W or 40.421N,74.561W NOTE: To see an example of converting latitude/longitude coordinates from degrees minutes seconds to decimal degrees, please see the Other Formulas tab of the DEMO_NA.xls workbook. 3.12 Getting State/Country Distances with Toll Amounts The State/Country report lists toll, toll-free, ferry, and total distances by state/country. If the PC*MILER|Tolls add-on module is installed with PC*MILER, the last column on the right will also provide toll fees for each leg of a trip and the total toll amount for the whole trip. To get this report, do one of the following: In Excel 2003: Select an empty cell, then select PC*MILER State/Country Rpt… from the Excel Insert menu. In Excel 2007: Go to the Excel Add-Ins menu and click on PC*MILER State/Country Rpt: In the dialog that appears, enter a city name and state abbreviation or postal code for the origin and destination. Select a Routing type if desired (the default is Practical), then click OK. (For more on setting the route type, see section 3.2, Getting the Miles Between Two Points.) PC*MILER|Spreadsheets User’s Guide 22
Distances (and tolls, if the PC*MILER|Tolls add-on is installed) will be returned as in the example shown below (the generated report will use as many cells as needed in your spreadsheet). To have states or countries listed in the order driven rather than alphabetically, change the default option in PC*MILER (Route menu > Default Options > General Options tab). Or you can change this option in the PCMSERVE.INI file. See Appendix A for more information about the PCMSERVE.INI. 3.13 Getting the Drive Time Between Two Points The prototype for the DriveTime function is: DriveTime (origin, destination [, routing type]) NOTE: Sample workbooks using this function are in the Excel folder of your PC*MILER installation, usually in C:\ALK Technologies\PMW<strong>25</strong>x\EXCEL. See section 1.3 for a description of the provided workbooks. PC*MILER|Spreadsheets User’s Guide 23
