Calculating distances to a target postal code in StreetSweeper Pro

Geosmart will allow you to calculate the distance between each record in your database and a target postal code. You can use this information to select records that fall within a prescribed distance from that target postal code.

1. For the most accurate results, it is recommended that you run Correction/Validation or Validation on your database prior to adding location data.
2. Select Address Tools > Geosmart.
3. Select Create a distance list.
4. Select Process.
5. StreetSweeper Pro will return to the Database View during and after processing. To view results, scroll to the right of the database until you see the fields GEO_NEARESTPC and GEO_DISTANCE. The GEO_DISTANCE field is the calculated distance, in kilometers, between the record and the target postal code.
6. You can specify the maximum and minimum distances of your export file by selecting File > Export File and entering in these distances where indicated.
