Challenge #15: Warehouse Shipped Miles

I actually found this one to be easier than many of the others despite having worked with spacial distances only one other time.  Thank you for the exercise.

This is how I would have solved for this challenge, but the 'find nearest' was updated to restrict max distance to 100 miles/ kilometers. This restriction makes this tool practically unusable when trying to find the closest warehouse across the country.

For some reason I was unable to set the Max Distance in the Spatial:FindNearest tool beyond 100 so came up with an alternative solution.

 

Can anyone provide insight into how to overcome the Max Distance constraint?
