Creating a Trade Area from a List of POIs

1. Click the options icon in the top right corner of the Results List toolbar

2. In the Trade Area Settings window, entered the desired setting

   a. Select a project from the Project drop-down menu, or create a new Project

   b. Enter a Project Description (what will be displayed in the Legend)

   c. Choose the Ring Type (Radius or Drive Time)

   d.Choose the Ring Use (Competitors, Collaborators, Existing Sites, Candidate Sites)

   e. Select the Max Ring Size (Minutes for Drive Time, Miles for Radius). Keep the default** setting or click Customize to manually set the ring sizes and number of rings

   Note: **The default setting creates 5 rings for Drive Time Ring Types, and 4 rings for Radius Ring Types. The size of the largest ring will be what’s displayed in the dropdown menu, and each smaller ring will be incrementally smaller depending on the Ring Type. For example, if the Ring Type is Drive Time and the Max Ring Size is 15, then the tool will create 5 rings around a single site representing 15 min, 12 min, 9 min, 6 min, and 3 min.

3. Once the settings are in place, click OK and then look at the notification area in the top right corner of the LandVision™ application window to see the trade area generation status

4. Once complete, a notification pop-up will appear notifying you of the success of the trade area generation task

The map will now display trade areas around each of the POIs in the list based on the trade area settings.

To add more trade areas, such as competitor sites, simply follow the same steps but choose 'Competitors' in the drop down menu for Ring Use. The result will look something like the image below.
