Guided Tour: Start and 'Atlas' Charts
This guided tour shows you how to use MileCharter to create a variety of mileage tables.
Easy to create "Road Atlas" style tables.
Atlas tables use the list of places (locations) for the start and end points. The result is a table that is very similar to the driving tables seen in road atlases.
MileCharter created the above table of distances between a selection of major European cities. The following screenshots show the process.
Pushpins were inserted into a Microsoft® MapPoint® map for the required cities. These could also be imported from an Excel® spreadsheet or a text file.
MileCharter is started. The same pushpin set was selected for both the start and finish locations. Options for a lower-right table with kilometers are selected. Compute is pressed and the table is created in about two minutes.
Similar "road atlas" style charts can be created for any locations in North America or Europe. As well as cities, you could find distances between towns, offices, depots, or customers.
Next, we look at a business application finding distances from multiple offices to a new customer.
