Thank you for explaining that the resulting area may be different based on releases. I was wondering why my map looked slightly different. Please see attached for solution.

Ready! Used another methodology since I didn't have the data sets available.

 

Thanks!

I wish I'd seen Matt's post with the Google Maps macro before taking this one one.  Since I didn't have a drive time dataset I ended up doing something different but I noticed that several others took a similar route.  After creating points, I located the center and created a 20 mile trade area for each office.  I then calculated the distance from the center to each office plus the radius from each office to find a max distance of about

20 miles  / 30 minutes.

I don't have spatial package,too.

This challenge is fun that don't use drive time package.

Make center point of satellite office and make circle that radius is solution area by circle radius.

Use 11.5 miles trade area

As I don't have the drivetime package, I went for distance instead

Without drive time data - initially over complicated it having not used spatial for some time but then released my mistake (both solutions included)

I don't have access to drivetime data, I replaced with 19 km distance, Thanks
