Find Nearest locates the points of interest (POI) that are nearest to a given location. For example, you could use Find Nearest to identify the nearest bank for a given location.

Find Nearest can locate points of interest that are points, lines, or polygons. For example, a point could be a bank ATM machine; a line could be a road segment, and a polygon could be a national park. The spatial data you match against can contain any of these types of geometries.

If you want to maximize the results for this stage, enter a large enough value for the search distance. A large search distance may require setting a limit on returned records to prevent performance issues due to high-volume processing.

ACL Authorization Flow

To find a nearest point of interest, the user (or the role they belong to) needs EXECUTE permission on the Named table.
