Maptitude® On-Line Training

Introductory Maptitude: Lesson 5

Selection Sets
5.1 Selection Set Basics: Overview
Maptitude provides many tools for asking and answering questions about the features in a map and the data in a dataview. You can formulate three types of questions:
  • Location questions: "Which customers live within 5 miles of a store?"
  • Attribute questions: "Which census tracts have an average household income of over $40,000 per year?"
  • Combination questions: "Which land parcels are zoned residential and located within 1 mile of a school?"

Maptitude stores the answers to your questions in a selection set, and illustrates the answer by highlighting features in the selection set on the map and in the dataview automatically.
