Sorry for the off topic, but I am not sure where to start and I figured
some of you folks probably know.. Any suggestions on what I should
search on?
I want a method to calculate the locations of N points from a dataset of
locations that has a minimum cumulative distance. That, what are the
locations of a given number of Basepoints so that the distance from the
dataset to one of he basepoints is minimized. Specifically, if I have
a set of all the locations in a service area and I want to know where to
place service providers in the dataset, were should I put them if I have
two service providers, where should I put them if I have
three providers, etc.
I am sure I did this as a home work problem long ago in a computer
programming class, but I can't seem to come up with a simple means of
doing it. I am betting the method is detailed out there somewhere, but
I can't find the correct search parameters.
Please send any suggestions to me at

Thanks all................ jt
