Is there a way to dynamically find a distance between two points (just like Google Earth)?

[julioarriaga]

Hi,

As always, thank you for the help. In our company we use the Qlik Sense GeoAnaltics app to evaluate information about our new stores (we are a pharmaceutical company that sells franchises).

So, it would be very useful for us to be able to draw arbitrary distances in the maps (just like Google Earth) in order to know which locations could be used to create new stores (a minimum distance must be respected between locations).

Is this possible?

Hi I dont think so it is available as a default feature. But you can do a simple calculation and find that.

There's no distance tool in the map but you can use GeoOperations (QCS and QSEoK) to calculate distances in runtime:

=GeoOperations.ScriptEvalStr('SELECT Distance from Routes(originField="From", transportation="Bird", destField="Dest")','[10.2,50.8]' as From, '[11.2,54.8]' as Dest)

You could also use a drive time to create circles or drive time polygons around your locations. You can set your mileage in the script for this to your defined needs. Glad to answer any questions about that.
