API Excerpts

    Of the many functions PC*MILER|Connect offers, here are excerpts from three functions that calculate the distance between two places:

  • PCMSCalcDistance(): returns the distance between an origin (orig) and destination (dest) by calculating the route using the default routing type 

    long PCMSCalcDistance (PCMServerID serv,
const char FAR *orig, const char FAR *dest);

  • PCMSCalcDistance2(): returns the distance between an origin (orig) and destination (dest) by calculating the route using the given routing type (routeType) 

    long PCMSCalcDistance2 (PCMServerID serv,
const char FAR *orig, const char FAR *dest,
int routeType);

  • PCMSCalcDistance3(): returns the distance and time between an origin (orig) and destination (dest) by calculating the route using the given routing type (routeType) 

    long PCMSCalcDistance3 (PCMServerID serv,
const char FAR *orig, const char FAR *dest,
int routeType, long *minutes);
