Hi All,

Is there any tool in mapinfo or mapbasic by which we can calculate
distances automatically b/w one cell to all of its adjacent nearest
cells for whole GSM network.


Regards
Fahad

Hi,

You can do this easily (as the crow flies) using the following
calculation. NB you will need to have easting and northing co-
ordinates for your origin cell and surrounding cells (points).

√ ((Origin easting - Destination easting)² + (Origin northing -
Destination northing)²)

The results are reported in metres.

Hope this helps.

Ed.

You could use the distance calculator (tools>distance calculator) to measure distance (crow fly) to the nearest (or set of nearest points) or number of points within set distances.

Hi Keith,

Hope you are well.

Is there any process in Distance calculation via which we can change
the number of distance to be find for a site dynamically.

For Example I have 5 site. Site 1 has two neighbors, site 2 has 3
neighbor, site 3 has 5 neighbor.

So the distance calculations will be done for 2 nearest distances for
Site 1 and 3 nearest distances for Site 2 and 5 nearest distances for
Site 3 and so on.

Thanks in anticiaption.

Honey.

Hi Honey

If these relationships are known, you could just do one large calculation using the tool and then extract the relevant relationships, using an SQL. I'm guessing by dynamic you mean automatically run the calculation tool, which I'm afraid I havent a clue on how to do.

Also. If they are known then you could use (and set up some MapBasic script to run) the formula suggested by Eddie previously in the email chain (Pythagoras theory) - you would need to use a projection system in metres.

Cheers
Keith

you could use this tool ;-)

and if you were nice to the developer he could turn on the top 10
distance function

you click on a site and it list the top ten cloest sites by sector
