Proximity Searching

Azimap allows several ways to analyse your data, one of the simplest being the proximity search tool.  It’s an easy search to run and can be used for so many purposes, for example, planning purposes. It can tell you what lies beside a certain feature within a given radius. e.g. Certain roadworks or building projects mightn’t be allowed to take place within a certain distance from a school, electricity, sewer, road, etc.

This guide will take you through how to get started with your proximity search and generate a report.
