Creating Routing Distance and Time Buffers
To find out how many customers are within ten minutes drive of your stores to find all of the suppliers
within 15 to 30 miles of your warehouse location, use a Driving Regions web service.
The Drivetime web service uses the latest road networks and fast search algorithms to show the buffer
boundaries in time (isochrone) or distance (isodistance) from a specified location. These buffers are
different from other MapInfo Professional object or table buffers because they are based on road networks
and not straight line distances. Driving region time and distance buffers are calculated based on the
speed limits of the individual roads and highways in the road network and the distance or time values
you request. Isochrones and isodistances are collectively called isograms.
