What’s an isochrone and how can I generate a drive time map or map travel time radius?
Wondering what the difference between an isochrone, drive time map and a tool to map travel time radius is? They’re exactly the same thing. An isochrone shows points of an equal value joined together.
For example if you need to draw a drive time area showing all of places you can reach within 30 minutes, this perimeter shows equal points joined. However a ‘travel time radius’ or ‘drive time radius’ don’t actually exist. Radius means circle and travel time shapes come in all shapes and sizes.

Why use time-based maps?
It understands context – taking into account congestion, routing & geography to deliver better results.
Map locations like a real person thinks – in minutes, not miles.
Every map is personalised to the location’s context, transport mode and time of travel.
You are in good company
