Hello Geowankers, I'm forwarding this email from a colleague in hopes that someone will have some suggestions to pass on.
Thanks for the help. Regards, Jennifer ps. I've stripped out political references.... that's why you'll see xxxxx campaign. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: GIS routing question Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 14:32:43 -0700 (PDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi All My partner is working for the xxxxx campaign and was asked by the regional campaign office to look for computer-based routing solutions for canvassing. Nationally, all the campaign offices use a networked, web-browser-accessible database called VoteBuilder. It manages contacts and lets field coordinators define canvassing territories by drawing over a Google map. VoteBuilder doesn't construct a route for the canvassers-- that's up to them. In suburban neighborhoods with winding roads and cul-de-sacs it's almost impossible for them to come up with an efficient route that doesn't miss some of the households. Some of the local and regional offices have adopted software solutions for routing, but the techniques aren't being disseminated. I know there's an extension for ArcGIS to do routing. Is this the only solution? Thanks for any suggestions..
