Ok, philosophical approach to what should be an easy question.
One data set: each record has a lat/long
Created a centroid from lat/long
Created a trade area 5 mile radius for each centroid
(easy so far)
want to understand and have a data set with 'only' the intersections of those trade areas in my single data set.
Spatial process wants 2 different data sets to create intersection.
Don't care about the extra, I only want the intersections of my trade areas.
Approaches?
