With CMaps Analytics Drive time polygons, users can gain a better vision how distance or drive time can impact performance or help address spatial relationships in distance, which can be difficult to assess by simply looking at a map.
How it Works:
CMaps Analytics Drive Distance Polygons employs a cloud-based service that dynamically calculates drive distance bands on the fly, and returns the visualizations to your map view based on a single origin point, and 1 or multiple distance bands.
There are two approaches to drawing drive time polygons with CMaps Analytics Designer.
1- Static layers through CMaps Designer- Currently CMaps Analytics Designer allows for a single static drive time polygon.
2- Dynamic layers through the SDK – Currently, for custom HTML5 apps and integrations, you have complete flexibility to implement drive time polygons through the CMaps Analytics API.
FUTURE PLANS:
It is planned for future versions of CMaps Analytics Designer to allow dynamic creation of drive polygons through user selection of points on a layer. Want to see this feature sooner?
