This function will allow routes to be generated between two points in different tables. The number of rows in each table must match for this function to work. When used the first row from table one is selected as the start point and the first row in the second table is used as the end point.

 

When selected the following dialog is displayed:

 

RoutePairsDLG

 

1.Select the first table from the drop down list in the "From" box
2.Select the column that contains the identifiers (e.g. ID)
3.Repeat the selections from the "To" box for the second table

 

If you are trying to generate a large matrix the you can use the CSV output option. This will get over the 2GB limitation for MapInfo tables, however you will not be able to produce route objects.

 

You can input a path and table name and the output will be saved to this location. You can also click the button "..." and you will be able to navigate to a folder and input a file name.

You will get a message if that tables you select have deleted rows or have records that are not geocoded.

The other option is to build map objects of each of the routes generated. If you use this option then before the results are displayed you get the following question:

 

AskToShowResultsMSG

 

By selecting "Yes" the routes will be added to the map.

 

The results will look like:

 

RoutePairsResult

 

The distance column will be in the currently selected distance unit, either miles or kilometers. The time will always be returned in minutes.

 

Route Directions cannot be generated with this option.

 

If you have used the output to CSV option then you will see a message informing you of the output location.
