[en] DT_CAN_US3_71x71.png US and Canada Drivetime Tool

[en] Use US and Canada Drivetime to calculate the drive time polygons between 2 spatial objects (points) in the US or in Canada. Both US and Canada drive time datasets must be installed to use this tool.

[en] If you use DriveTime, go to Guzzler Drivetime Methodology for more information.

[en] Configure the Tool

  1. [en] Select the spatial object (point) field from the input data source.

  2. [en] Choose to draw the trade area extent using a specific value or a field value from the input data source.

    • [en] Specific Value: Each incoming point has the user-entered value as its drivetime polygon.

      • [en] Eliminate Overlap: When checked the resulting polygons don't overlap. The overlap area is split into grids, and the grids closest to each point remain in that point's polygon.

        • [en] Specify the grid size to assign overlap. The smaller the grid size, the more accurate the polygons are. The workflow also takes longer to run.

        • [en] Thresholds are: minimum=0.1 miles, maximum=5 miles, and accepts increments of 0.25 miles. The default is 0.25 miles.

    • [en] Value from field: Each incoming point has its value present in the specified field as its drivetime polygon. Since this value could be variable, the Eliminate Overlap option is not available.

  3. [en] Select the US Drivetime dataset to use.

  4. [en] Select the Canada dataset to use.
