Learn how to create driving radius maps and how they can help your business.
Maptive’s drive time polygon tool makes it easy to generate driving radius maps. Determine how far you can travel from a point or points on a map using drive time polygons that represent the farthest distance you can travel in a certain period of time.
Driving radius maps measure the time and/or distance of locations from a central point. Businesses and organizations often use driving radius maps for location intelligence when doing business site selection, sales territory planning, catchment area analysis, and logistics.

Driving radius maps use GIS software to determine either the time it takes—in this case, known as “drive time maps”—or distance between a set of locations. Maptive’s radius map tools take into consideration important factors such as live traffic data, speed limits & time of day in order to generate accurate radius maps.
Maptive gives you the option to plot your driving radius maps by time (polygon) and space (circle). For example, you can create a drive time map for a sales territory with Maptive’s Drive Time Polygon Tool. Or, you can pinpoint every competitor within a 50-mile radius of your store, track your locations, and much more.
With Maptive’s unique combination of robust tools and flexible software, the possibilities are limitless, and execution is a breeze! Here’s how easy it is to create your driving radius map:
