Input Point Layer ​

Point layer to calculate isochrones from. Only Point layers are allowed, not MultiPoint.

Input Layer ID Field ​

Values will transfer to the output layer and can be used to join layers or group features afterwards.

Dimension ​

Select whether ranges should be calculated based on time or distance.

Options
  • time
  • distance

Comma-separated ranges ​

Specify the ranges that should be calculated. Based on your selection in Dimension this will be either in minutes or meters as units.

Location type ​

Specify wether the points should be treated as a starting point or a destination. Start treats the location(s) as starting point, destination as goal.

Options
  • start
  • destination

Isochrones(Output) ​

Specify a path, where the layer will be saved. Leaving this empty will result in a temporary layer.

Advanced Parameters ​

These are optional parameters you can use to avoid certain areas.

Features to Avoid ​

You can make your isochrones avoid particular features. Specify them here.

Options
  • Highways
  • Tollways
  • Ferries

Comma-separated list of ids of countries to avoid ​

List of countries to exclude from isochrones with driving-* profiles. Can be used together with 'avoid_borders': 'controlled'. [ 11, 193 ] would exclude Austria and Switzerland. List of countries and application examples can be found here. Also, ISO standard country codes cna be used in place of the numerical ids, for example, DE or DEU for Germany.

Polygons to avoid ​

You can make your isochrones avoid particular polygons from your layers. Specify them here.
