Isochrone Tool

The Isochrone tool allows the user to compute and visualize isochrones and isodistances in MapStore using different supported routing providers, such as GraphHopper Isochrones API.

By clicking the Isochrone button available in the Side Toolbar, the tool is activated, allowing the user to select a point and display the computed isochrones or isodistances on the map.

The user can select the starting point in two ways:

• Typing the address into the text box
• Selecting a point on the map using the button

The Isochrone can be further customized using the following options:

• Choose the Travel Mode, either walking or driving
• Choose the Distance in the dropdown menu for Isodistance or Time for Isochrone as the basis for the Range
• Choose the Direction between Departure or Arrival
• Define the number of intervals within the chosen Range using the Buckets option
• Select the Colors for the Buckets using the Color Picker

Once all options are set, the user can click the button to visualize the computed isochrones or isodistances at the bottom of the panel and on the map.

For each result, the latitude and longitude of the point and the corresponding distance/time are highlighted. The user can also:

• Enable/disable layer visibility by using the checkbox on the right side

• Tune the result transparency in map by scrolling the opacity slider

• Use run parameters via the dropdown menu accessed through the button. This option allows the user to reuse the results of a previous run to clone the parameters for a new run

• Export as GeoJSON using the same dropdown menu

• Add as layer using the same dropdown menu. This option allows the user to add the selected run result as a vector layer to the TOC

• Delete result using the same dropdown menu
