Commercial bakeries and similar businesses often deliver products to customers in cities, so minimizing the distance their drivers have to travel can save significant amounts of money every year. In this movie, I’ll show you how to visualize the number of locations within a given distance from a central point, which could be a warehouse, bakery, or other facility.
- When you work with geographical data, you will often…be interested in how closely certain phenomena,…for example businesses or, perhaps,…in this case, earthquakes are clustered.…In this movie, I will show you how to select items…within a map and, if you're zoomed in far enough…and high enough detail, to see how large…an area you're working with.…My sample file is the Measurement Workbook,…and you can find it in the Chapter 12 folder…of your exercise files collection.…I'm working with my collection of earthquake data…and you can see here that there have been quite…a few earthquakes of relatively small magnitude.…
I see a magnitude four or 2.7 in or around…Oklahoma City and in Northern Oklahoma.…What I would like to do is try to select these…and then also see if there are any…clusters within, say, about 20 miles.…If I want to select a group of earthquake data points,…I can hover my mouse pointer over the map…and then in the list of tools available,…click the right pointing triangle and then I'll see…a zoom area tool, a pan tool, which allows me to move…
