Pro - Features

Here you will find a listing and description of the Pro functions of easymap explorer. These functions are only available if you have purchased the Pro extension.

Route calculation

This function allows you to create and calculate a route with stopovers directly in easymap explorer. You may set different start and destination locations by clicking on the circle with the arrow in the data window. All available location-based analyses, district locations as well as map layers (e.g. the areas of the 5-digit postal codes) are available as start and destination locations.

Once the route start and destination locations have been selected, you can add multiple stopovers to the route. To add a stopover in the route, click on the "pin" in the data window of a location.

At the top right, the Route Calculation window opens, displaying the travel time in minutes and the travel distance in kilometers. The calculation for the route is optimized by travel time. Here, all common roads or the freeways, the federal roads and the state roads are preferably used for the calculation.

Note: Traffic information such as traffic jams or road works are not taken into account in the calculation.

Each new stop that you add in the route is inserted by default at the end of the list in the route window, i.e. the last stops or visits made on the planned route. The order of the route or the intermediate stops can be rearranged by Drag&Drop. When you mouse-over a stopover, three dots appear, indicating that you can move this level by holding down the left mouse button.

Here it is also possible to remove the individual stopovers from the route by clicking on the container and have each individual location displayed on the map by clicking on the "pin". With a click on the entire route is displayed on the map.

The route can be downloaded and saved as a cvs file. This is very convenient for the field service, as they can draw their personal route on the map and download the table with customer information, time and distance for each stopover. In addition, the map with the designed route can be printed. For more information, see the Print chapter.

You can activate and customize this additional function in the Release. Here you can make settings or decide which location analyses, district locations or map layers are taken into account for the route calculation.

Note: The route calculation works only if the background map BingMaps street maps has been inserted in the map folder.

Accessilibity

This analysis allows you to plot and calculate an isoline around a district location, symbol or area on the map directly in the browser. With a click on open the dialog window of the isochrone. Here you can decide whether the calculation should be in kilometers or minutes:

  • Linear distance: A radius of a given distance is drawn around a location.

  • Distance: The maximum value of the road kilometer is 400 KM. The calculation for the kilometers refers to the shortest way. Here, all common roads or the freeways, the federal roads and the state roads are preferably used for the calculation.

  • Travel time: The maximum value of the travel time is limited to 60 minutes due to technical reasons of Microsoft. The calculation for the minutes refers to the fastest route. Here, all common roads or the freeways, the federal roads and the state roads are preferably used for the calculation.

With a click on Calculate the isoline is drawn and with a click inside the isoline the dialog window opens again. The number of elements of all visible location-based analyses (e.g. symbols) in the calculated reachability analysis, are displayed in the dialog. Several isolines can be calculated on the map, but not on the same location. Clicking Remove in the dialog box, will remove the isoline.

Note: Traffic information such as traffic jams or road works are not taken into account in the calculation.

This analysis is useful, for example, in presenting "theoretical" or "ideal" catchment areas of sites and thus contrasting them with actual catchment areas or areas of responsibility.

The accessibility analysis can be activated in the same way as the route calculation in the share at map level.

Note: The accessibility analysis works only if the background map BingMaps street maps has been inserted in the map folder.
