Summary:
AnySite 9.x and Differences in Drive Time Methodology

Question:
What are the differences between the various types of DriveTime Generation found in the AnySite.ini?

Answer:
Freeway = The default/traditional trade area uses concentric rings around a site. Concentric rings do not account for physical geography and/or the street network.

Envinsa = The optional trade area built based on the local road network (such as one-way, on & off ramps and speeds on differing road types) and takes into consideration geographic barriers (such as parks, lakes, etc.) Unlike concentric rings (Freeway), an Envinsa trade area can be irregularly shaped. Site placement is very important in Envinsa.

AnySite = Not for North American use. The equivalent for Freeway in other locales.
