Hi All,
I ran into a bit of an issue when using that find nearest tool and would like someone help explain if possible.
I have 3 sets of addresses below:
Personal
Current Work
Proposed Work
I used distance tool to get commute time from personal to current and used find nearest to find 2 possible proposed work. Setting for both distance tool and find nearest are both the same ( drive time 180min, TomTom US Peak - Most Recent)
Here's what's strange: when output current work = proposed work the distance/time are off slightly some margin range 0-5mins or 0-6 miles.
any idea why that's happening? My only guess is distance tool ran before the find nearest tool and the situation changed with regard to the road?
Thanks,
BosKev
Solved! Go to Solution.
I believe the difference is because you're using drivetime. Drivetime takes traffic patterns into consideration, so a certain location 5 miles away might take 15 minutes to drive to, while another might take 25 minutes.
Take a look at this article for more information on drivetime:
Thank you!
