You can create a driving region buffer (time or distance) to find out how far away your customers are from a particular event or location. We recommend that you add a server as described in the Setting the Routing Server Preferences instructions before attempting to create time or distance buffers.

Here are some definitions that may be useful for you as you use this feature.

Holes
Areas within the larger boundary that cannot be reached within the specified time or distance, based on the road network.
Island
Small areas outside the main boundary that can be reached within the specified time or distance.
Off-road Travel
Off-road travel refers to streets that are not part of the server's road network, such as driveways, private roads, or access roads.
