With the new version, we offer you many functions that make working with PTV Map&Guide intranet even easier.
The Perimeters use case gives you the option to draw a circle around one or more addresses on the map. You can set the radius and enter the colour and a label.
This lets you show different tariff zones on the map, for example, enabling you to quickly provide a customer with information about freight pricing.
More information can be found in the article Draw and edit perimeters in the map.
In the new version, you can see the exact fuel costs incurred on a route. You can enter the fuel costs in the cost profile (see Create cost profile ) and the costs for the journey will be shown in the route calculation result once you have calculated the route.
By double-clicking on a route planning tab you can change its name.
If you want to show the tab again when you next start it up, you must save the profile.
In the title bar click 
My account > Save profile.
The window PTV Map&Guide intranet - Save profile opens.
The itinerary includes the height data for every route point and for the previous stage
If you only show the stop-off points, the maximum height for the previous stage will be shown (taking the example of the 1st stage: stop-off point 1 to stop-off point 2, 2nd stage: stop-off point 2 to stop-off point 3).
The route calculation result also shows the highest and lowest points on the route.
Tip: Double-click on the highest or lowest point to display it on the map.
More information can be found in the article Where do I see the height profile of a route?
If the route passes through countries which require a toll sticker, once you have calculated the route you will receive a notification to this effect with a link to a page where you can purchase the sticker.
In the map, you can use Context menu > 
Copy map to show the current map section in a new browser tab. You can copy the image there, place it on the clipboard and insert it into a document.
Note: To insert the image into Microsoft® Word®, for example, right-click on your chosen point in the document, choose Insert from the menu and click on the 
Picture symbol.
The function Compare routes has been revised and improved. Up to now, it was only possible to compare routes from two tabs via CTRL + mouse click. In the new version you can mark and compare routes from up to five tabs comfortably with the mouse.
Note: The comparison via CTRL + mouse click is no longer possible.
You can compare routes, which were calculated with with different vehicle profiles or routing options and display the differences. It is also possible to display the costs of an entire tour, for example if a part of a tour is executed by a subcontractor.

You can mark the tabs with which you want to compare the current route by clicking on the checkbox to the left of the route name. The calculated routes are displayed in a different color on the map. If a tab only contains stop-off points, the route is calculated automatically. |

The best values of the compared routes are shown in green, the bad ones in red.
You can display the difference between the values or sum up the values.
For all values, the absolute and percentage difference to the best value is displayed.
Displaying the total is helpful, for example, if a tour is run by several subcontractors with different rates.
You can view the routes and alternate routes from up to five tabs in the map.
To do this, mark the desired tabs by clicking on the check box. The routes calculated in the registers are displayed in different colors on the map.

We have switched to another provider of traffic information that provides significantly more data.
In this turn, we removed the Traffic information use case because the list view of traffic information is not advantageous for route planning.
The traffic information is taken into account during planning as before if the corresponding routing parameter is activated.
.
Using the Map toolbar > Visibility > Map Objects tab, you can specify whether and which traffic information is displayed on the map.
Note: The map displays the traffic information depending on the zoom level. If detailed data is available for a traffic information, such as the length or the expected delay, these are visualized as a tooltip when moving over with the mouse.
