TravelDistance
TravelDistance[{loc1,loc2,…}]
gives the estimated distance for travel from loc1 to loc2, ….
Details and Options
- The locations loci can be geographic entities, GeoPosition objects, or strings specifying addresses.
- Possible options include:
-
TravelMethod "Driving" method of transportation to assume UnitSystem $UnitSystem unit system to be used in output - TravelDistance[loc1,loc2] is equivalent to TravelDistance[{loc1,loc2}].
- TravelDistance[loc2,loc1] is not necessarily the same as TravelDistance[loc1,loc2] as a result of one-way streets and similar issues.
Examples
open all close allScope (4)
Distance to travel between two geographic locations:
Use GeoPosition objects to define locations:
Options (2)
TravelMethod (1)
TravelDistance uses "Driving" as default method of transportation:
UnitSystem (1)
The default unit system is given by $UnitSystem, usually determined by your location, in this case "Imperial":
Properties & Relations (2)
Compute the estimated travel distance between two locations:
It can also be computed with TravelDirections:
Or as a property of a TravelDirectionsData object:
Compute the distances between consecutive pairs of locations:
They can also be obtained by combining Partition and TravelDistance, though less efficiently:
