Which tools to use?

[amandacastro]

Which sort of tools should I use if I am given coordinates of a vehicle along with the coverage area for the vehicle?

I am trying to see if I should create points, or if I can use a spatial match? Please let me know if you can show with an example and visually. Thanks!

Hi @amandacastro ,

If you are given the coordinates of a vehicle, then you can plot those coordinates on a map by using the "Create Points" tool. Also, to plot the coverage area on a map, you can use the "Trade area" tool, which would plot a trade area around the centroid you created previously. The radius can be set manually to a certain value, or it can be set to be equal to the coverage area you have in your dataset.

This is how to configure the tools : 

and the trade area tool :

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Angelos
