Thanks ewverybody for your messages about the Drive Times macro
I wish I had asked the list BEFORE I started to write te
AddIn. I am sure I would have gotten a number of nice suggestions
about the type of fucntionality that I could have included.
I do have a few question though, that would help me fit the
AddIn to
as many users needs as possible
1) What are the most common drive times you use in your daily
work. Range: Under 5 - 90 Min+, 5 minute
increments
2) What is the maximum drive times you have used? (I would like
to know how many of you think that the macro would need to compute
drive
times that are beyond a few minutes)
I don't know if this is doable, but it would be
ideal to structure the macro to allow user to set a minimum drive time
(e.g. "Under 5 minutes") , a max (e.g. 90 Minutes or more) and the
time increment to be used in the range (e.g. 5, 10 or 15 minute bands)
and have the macro produce a series of results, each of which would be
stored as a unique polygon.
3) what is the minimum drive time you would ever want to compute Under 5 minutes.
4) If you think you need to compute long drive times, do you
want
them to be computed along all kinds of roads, or only a subset of the
road network (i.e. Use only local roads, exclude city streets, and so
on, etc)
Beyond 45 minutes, use state primary hwy &
Interstate road sements
5) What do you consider to be the more useful
output: a polygon enclosing the area within xxx minutes drive
time? or the the set of street segments within that drive
time? Polygon, so that point-specific
locations which fall within the poygon can be easily assigned to the
corresponding destination by esing the edit-Fill-Tab function in
Maptitude
When the AddIn is ready I will post it to the list.
Thanks everybody for your help. No, THANK
YOU!!!! Kevin Byrnes
