Tech Tip
How do I identify multiple nearby locations for multiple origins?
|
|
Maptitude 2017 makes it easy to identify alternative service suppliers, backup field representatives, and the closest locations. The new Distance and Travel Times Tables tool allows you to choose a layer of origins and destinations and calculates the distance or time taken to travel between them. For example, using a point layer of stores and a separate point layer of customers you could create a table of the drive times to the various stores for each customer. Alternatively, you can use selection sets of origins and destinations from a single point layer. The results can be viewed in Excel or Maptitude, allowing you to easily sort the table to identify the closest locations. This Tech Tip shows how to work with the Distance and Travel Times Tables tool in Maptitude 2017. |

Maptitude 2017 has a reorganized menu system. The Maptitude Help (choose Help-Maptitude Help) has a listing of every menu item and what it does. The topic is "Menu Commands" and it is the last branch under Contents, as shown in the screenshot. Maptitude 2017 has also added a Windows Microsoft Office style question mark icon to most windows. Clicking the question mark will take you to the relevant section of the Help. You can also hover over any menu item and click F1 to access Help topics. |
