Cab Grid Pro 5 introduces the ability to combine calculation modes. This is useful where the choice of vehicle should be offered (rather than determined by the system).

Location and price data can be imported to Cab Grid Pro from an external source (CSV file). This can be especially useful if there are large number of places and prices.
