Finding a route

You can use Analyst's Notebook Connector for Esri to find a route between two or more locations on a map, according to the rules of a particular network analysis layer. For example, you might want to find a route between two locations along a road network.

Before you begin

The Find Route tool requires an Esri network analysis layer to be available, upon which the route is calculated. The network analysis layers available depend on the connected ArcGIS Servers.

Procedure

To find a route between two or more locations:
  1. In the Map window, select two or more mapped items or points.

    The Find Route tool uses selections as stops along the route. Stops are routed in order of their selection.

  2. From the toolbox, select Find Route.
    The names and descriptions of the available network layers are displayed for each connected server.
  3. Select a network.
  4. Click Go to find a route.

    Analyst's Notebook Connector for Esri adds the result of calculating the route to the Results tab in the Map window.

  5. In the Results tab, click the green View Query Results icon for the Find Route result.

    Analyst's Notebook Connector for Esri adds a Query Results layer to the Layers tab, and displays the route on the map.
