Distance and Drive Time
Review requirements, setup, details, and additional resources for CloudService Distance and Drive Time utilities.
This utility calculates the number of miles and driving minutes from the Household Address to the Household Congregation Address. There are two new fields in the Household Table: Driving Distance and Driving Time. These populate automatically, and you can use them to pull a list of Households within X miles of their campus or Y minutes of drive time.
Initial Setup and Requirements
ACS Technologies must install and enable this utility. Contact support to request this. See Billing Details.
Congregations must have a Location with an Address for the routine to compare them with Household Addresses. It is beneficial to you to Geocode these manually at the outset. See the Map My Selection Tool.
You must configure a Bing API. See Setup for Bing API Key.
Details
The routine automatically runs overnight and calculate values for 5,000 records.
Only Geocoded Addresses calculate, so it may take days to calculate values for all records in the database.
The following fields update in Households:
- Driving_Distance
- Driving_Time
These clear if you edit the Address_Line_1 value in the corresponding Address record.
