New Routing Options (Version 17 and up):
The routing type options have changed for National Network, Toll Discouraged,
and 53’ Trailer routing. These three ‘special’ routing options now can be
generated in combination with the ‘Practical’ or ‘Shortest’ options. Additionally,
National Network or 53’ Trailer routing can be combined with the Toll
Discouraged options. The only way to take advantage of this new functionality is
to pass in the new code in position 1 of the Request Options. (See new codes
below.)
