If you wanted to profile the area surrounding an address, drop a pin on its location and adjust the radius to your desired distance.

Under Catchments, select the first drop-down option Pin an address.

Once this has been selected, the options under Map Tools will update and will now provide you with the option of dropping a pin onto the map.  The next step is to navigate to the location you wish to drop the pin. There are two ways to locate the address.

The first option is to select any point on the map and drop a pin. Once a pin has been dropped, a circular area or “catchment” will be created. By default, the catchment will have a 5 km radius. A new entry will also appear under Catchment locations.

The second option is to enter the street address or point of interest into Search a location or POI. After selecting the appropriate address, a blue pin will appear on the map and you will need to click the pin icon located to the right of the search bar to create the catchment area.

If you wish to change the radius of the catchment area after dropping a pin, you can alter the settings under Catchment locations. A range of options are available, spanning from 1km to 150km. Alternatively, you can also set your radius preference before dropping the pin by using the second drop down box under Catchments. All pins dropped after that will automatically inherit the preferred radius setting, but can be modified as required. You also have the ability to name each catchment (useful if you create several catchments in one map).

The next step is to set your Catchment Preferences to either Cover all catchment or Stay within boundary before clicking onRun Profile to finalize it.

Once you have created the first catchment, you can repeat the process to add additional catchment areas. Every new catchment created will appear under Catchment locations.

Alternatively, you can drop multiple pins onto the map and when you have finished, click the Run Profile button again to update the Catchment Details Pane to include combined information about both catchments.

We recommend that you give each catchment a meaningful name to keep track of all catchments created and avoid confusion.

While Live Mapping allows you to create as many catchments as you would like, it may be simpler to create multiple maps rather than a map with multiple catchments.
