They're not the same though. Taking the average of the X coordinates, and the average of the Y coordinates, and using these averages to create a point location won't give you the minimum total distance to all points. It will be close, but the grid method can refine the answer. (Whether it's worth the ...

Centre of Minimum Distance can be estimated using a fine grid, for each cell calculate the sum of the distances from the cell centre to each point (weighted/multiplied by staff count if required). The cell with the lowest value represents the location where total travel is minimised. It will likely be ...

Hi Peter, another consideration would be to use Centre of Minimum Distance, weighted by number of employees at each site (ie minimising total KMs travelled). This would require a fairly simple MapBasic program to achieve. ------------------------------ Tim Mashford Knowledge Community Shared Account ...
